Salt Lake City: Sunstone Foundation, 1981. Facsimile Edition. xxiii+119pp. Duodecimo [21 cm] Burgundy buckram with the title gilt stamped on the front board and backstrip. Fine. Work opens with a lengthy introduction by Dr. Louis C. Zucker. This work was the manual that Joseph Smith and other early Church leaders used during the winter of 1835-1836, as they devoted much of their attention to the formal study of Hebrew, under a competent scholar, Joshua Seixas. Prior to working with Smith and other members of the Church, Joshua Seixas had been the first teacher of Hebrew at Oberlin College (where Lorenzo Snow was one of his students).
