The Hor Book of Breathings

A Translation and Commentary

Buy Print

The Hor Book of Breathings is the second volume in the Studies in the Book of Abraham series. It includes a complete publication of three of the remaining fragments of the Joseph Smith Papyri. These ancient hieroglyphics were part of a larger collection of scrolls, some of which were first translated as the Book of Abraham by the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith in the mid-1800s. Michael D. Rhodes here reexamines the fragments and offers improved readings and photographs for further study.
