It is generally known in English translation as \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Jasher\u003c\/i\u003e. The book is named after the Book of Jasher mentioned in Joshua and 2 Samuel. Although represented in the English translation reproduced here-that of Moses Samuel in 1840-as the genuine Book of Jasher mentioned in the Bible, there is general scholarly consensus that it is a late compilation of Jewish legends, probably written in Naples in the early 1500s.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn unsigned editorial in the \u003ci\u003eTimes and Seasons\u003c\/i\u003e quoted the work approvingly; as Joseph Smith was the editor at the time, the editorial came to be attributed to him and as a result the work has been held as genuine by some Latter-day Saints. LDS scholars, however, hold with mainstream scholarship regarding its authenticity. It is, nonetheless, interesting as an alternate perspective on Biblical events, and for its impact (however minor) on LDS thought.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 346\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.72 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 04, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51801989775648,"sku":"9781545126752","price":20.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/bd509c2217ed38b3867e7a110918023a.webp?v=1780848284","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/sefer-hayashar-the-book-of-jasher-deseret-alphabet-edition-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
