6h, 1833 Replica Book of Commandments

Notes

The Book of Commandments (1833) is a significant early publication in Latter-day Saint history. It contains many of the revelations received by Joseph Smith and was intended to provide guidance and direction for the newly organized Church. Printing began in Independence, Missouri, under William W. Phelps, but was interrupted in July 1833 when a mob destroyed the printing press. Only a small number of incomplete original copies survived. These revelations were later revised and published in the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants.
