Lot 188 | The Book of Mormon
Valeur estimée
$ 15 000 – 25 000
First edition of the Book of Mormon, with provenance dating back to publication. The Book of Mormon is Joseph Smith's translation of the golden tablets revealed to him by the angel Moroni on the hill of Cumorah near Manchester, New York. Printed only two weeks prior to the formal establishment of the Mormon Church, this is the only edition where Joseph Smith is identified as the "author" rather than as the "translator," as it appears in subsequent editions. This copy complete with the "Testimony of the Three Witnesses” signed in type by Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, Martin Harris on who attest that they had “seen the plates that which contain this record. On the verso of the same leaf appears “And Also The Testimony of the Eight Witnesses” bearing the names of Christian Whitmer, Jacob Whitmer, Peter Whitmer, Jr., John Whitmer, Hiram Page, Joseph Smith, Sen., Hyrum Smith, and Samuel H. Smith, all of whom attest that Joseph Smith had “shewn unto us the plates….” Smith dictated the text to Oliver Cowdery, who served as scribe. A local printer, Egbert B. Grandin, proprietor of the Wayne Sentinel, undertook to print the sizeable edition (5,000 copies) for the 25-year old Smith. The manuscript "was delivered a few pages at a time to the typesetter, who supplied all the punctuation and paragraphing" (Crawley and Flake). The Church catalogue notes that this first printing of the Mormon Bible forbade freemasonry and polygamy, but the latter doctrine was altered in subsequent editions. Best of the West 56; Church 1342; Crawley 1; Flake 595; Grolier Hundred 37; Howes S-623 ("b"); Sabin 83038; Streeter sale 2262.
