About This Item
Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 2005. First Editions. Two volume set. 648 + 265pp. Octavo [24 cm] Burgundy boards with the titles gilt stamped on the backstrip and flying angel devices blind stamped on the front boards. Both volumes. Near fine/Near fine. Bookplate on the front pastedown of both volumes. For the two months the Nauvoo Temple was in operation (December 1845-February 1846), scribes carefully documented all activities and events taking place inside, including lectures on the endowment ceremony drama and sealing rituals. Prior to the Temple's completion the Anointed Quorum held its regular gatherings, both in the Red Brick Store and elsewhere (women were initially washed and anointed in Emma Smith's bedroom and then escorted to the store) prior to the opening of the Nauvoo Temple. Never before have these primary, authoritative sources been correlated by date for comparison and fuller understanding of the gradual development of the temple ceremonies. Anyone interested in LDS temple worship will find this compilation of primary documents to be invaluable.
