Much has been said, written, and discussed concerning the Joseph Smith papyri and the Book of Abraham. Indeed, it is somewhat difficult to separate these two topics in any religious or academic discussion. Less often discussed yet similarly relevant are the writings of Joseph of Egypt that were also said to have been on the papyri acquired by the Church of the Latter Day Saints in 1835. This article explores two questions: "What were these writings said to have contained?" and, "Did Joseph Smith ever translate these writings?" The author's approach is to collect, evaluate, and compare what eyewitnesses contemporary with the Prophet Joseph Smith have said about the writings of Joseph of Egypt from the papyri.
