About This Item
Salt Lake City, UT: The Church Historian's Press, 2009. Facsimile Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Very good/very good +. SIGNED. 707pp. Quarto [31 cm] Blue cloth covered boards with stamping in purple and gilt on the spine and front cover. This copy has been signed by all 3 editors on the title page. The covers are very slightly warped. In a dust jacket, with minor edge wear. From the Publisher- "The first volume of the Revelations and Translations series, published in 2009, features two manuscript books into which many of Joseph Smith's revelations were copied by early church scribes. These manuscript revelation books are among the most important documents owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They preserve the earliest known copies of most of Smith's early revelations, and they are the key sources available for understanding the process of publishing the early revelations. The transcripts in this volume reproduce the original manuscripts of those books with great care, preserving corrections and revisions of any kind. Since several scribes penned revisions in the manuscripts, the handwriting of each scribe is rendered in a different color to facilitate analysis. This volume is an oversize facsimile edition (nine by twelve inches), featuring full-color photographic facsimiles of every page of the original documents on the left-hand page with the corresponding transcript on the right-hand page.
