On November 27, 1967, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York presented the L.D.S. Church eleven papyrus fragments, which were once in the possession of Joseph Smith and some of which were apparently used by the Prophet in preparing the text of one of the Church's scriptures, the Book of Abraham. Dialogue has been able to obtain translations and identifications of these papyrus fragments (and one additional one recently discovered at the Church Historian's office) by distinguished American Egyptologists; we present them here together with various assessments that have been submitted concerning the significance of the fragments and their translations.
