Probably no relationship.  The Books of Ehoch you mention are
pre-christian and survive in a few fragments in Slavic and substantial
form in Coptic.  Dee's Enochian alphabet is probably no older than the
15th century and has been attributed to Ficino (can't confirm that).   The
old Books of Enoch are literature compatable with the Torah (OT) style,
telling a pattern of attainment.  The Dee material is a series of
workings, based on the Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon, so called, and
named after Enoch (who is said to have had such a book as Dee was
achieving).
   In my opinion, trying to relate these two is a little like trying to
get vitamin C from an Orangeman.
