The Book of Commandments: 1833 Edition

Description: The Book of Commandments is the earliest published volume containing the revelations of Joseph Smith Jr. and the basis of what would later become the Doctrine and Covenants. On July 20, 1833 an anti-Mormon destroyed the press being used to print The Book of Commandments. At that point, 65 revelations of the Book of Commandments, about two thirds the total, were already printed. Totaling 160 pages, most of the uncut and unbound sheets were destroyed in the ensuing fire. However, some neighbors including teenage sisters Caroline and Mary Elizabeth Rollins saved remnants of nearly 100 copies. Fewer than 30 are known to exist today, including incomplete versions. Chapter 65 was incomplete when the press was destroyed. This Reader's Edition of The Book of Commandments is based on a public domain text.
