Summary[edit]

Description

The image is a page taken from the "Egyptian Alpahbet and Grammar", a work by Joseph Smith; on the left, demarcated by numbers, are various Egyptian characters, and on the right are the purported English translation(s). Many contend that the book proves that Smith attempted to make a one-to-one translation of the Egyptian characters.

Article

Critical appraisal of the Book of Abraham

Portion used

A single page from the multi-page document.

Low resolution?

Yes.

Purpose of use

To illustrate the "Egyptian Alpahbet and Grammar". The "Egyptian Alphabet and Grammar" contains an arrangement of correlated characters from the Small Sensen papyrus; on the left-hand side of a given page, a series of Egyptian character appear, and on the right, an apparent translation of these characters is given. While the "Egyptian Alphabet and Grammar" only contains an explicit correlation between Egyptian characters and their purported English translation for Abraham 1:11–2:9, the document itself suggests that the hieroglyphs from the Small Sensen papyrus were used to translate much of the Book of Abraham (Ashment 2000, pp. 121–122; Larson 1992, p. 66; Ritner 2013, p. 19).

Replaceable?

No.
