The Joseph Smith Egyptian Papyri: A Complete Editon

Angebote / Angebote:

This book marks the publication of the first, full translantion of the so-called Joseph Smith Egyptian papyri translated into English. These papyri comprise "The Breathing Permit of Hor, " "The Book of the Dead of Ta-Sherit-Min, " "The Book of the Dead Chapter 125 of Nefer-ir-nebu, " "The Book of the Dead of Amenhotep, " and "The Hypocephalus of Sheshonq, " as well as some loose fragments and patches. The papyri were acquired by members of the LDS Church in the 1830s in Kirtland, Ohio, and rediscovered in the mid-1960s in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. They served as the basis for Joseph Smith's "Book of Abraham, " published in Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1842 and later canonized by the LDS faith.
