NOTES

The Pearl of Great Price is a collection of religious texts considered sacred by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). First published in 1851 and later canonized in 1880, this compilation includes a selection of materials that the church's founder, Joseph Smith, claimed to have translated and received through divine revelation. Among its contents are the Book of Moses, the Book of Abraham, and excerpts from Joseph Smith's translations of the Bible, as well as writings about his own history and the Articles of Faith. The Pearl of Great Price is one of the church's four standard works, along with the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Doctrine and Covenants.
