The Book of Abraham is a work produced between 1835 and 1842 by the Latter Day Saints (LDS) movement founder Joseph Smith that he said was based on Egyptian papyri purchased from a traveling mummy exhibition. According to Smith, the book was "a translation of some ancient records ... purporting to be the writings of Abraham, while he was in Egypt, called the Book of Abraham, written by his own hand, upon papyrus". The work was first published in 1842 and today is a canonical part of the Pearl of Great Price. Since its printing, the Book of Abraham has been a source of controversy. Numerous non-LDS Egyptologists, beginning in the mid-19th century, have heavily criticized Joseph Smith's translation and explanations of the facsimiles, unanimously concluding that his interpretations are inaccu

El trabajo se publicó por primera vez en 1842 y hoy es una parte canónica de la Perla de gran precio. Desde su impresión, el Libro de Abraham ha sido una fuente de controversia. Egiptólogos no mormones, desde fines del siglo XIX, han criticado fuertemente las explicaciones de Joseph Smith sobre los facsímiles, y muchos afirman que sus interpretaciones son completamente inexactas. También han afirmado que las partes dañadas de los papiros se han reconstruido incorrectamente. La controversia se intensificó a fines de la década de 1960 cuando se localizaron porciones de los papiros de Joseph Smith. Las traducciones de los papiros revelaron que las porciones redescubiertas no guardaban relación con el texto del Libro de Abraham. El apologista SUD Hugh Nibley y los egiptólogos de la Universidad Brigham Young John L. Gee y Michael D. Rhodes posteriormente ofrecieron refutaciones detalladas a algunas críticas. El egiptólogo de la Universidad de Chicago Robert K. Ritner concluyó en 2014 que la fuente del Libro de Abraham «es el Permiso de respiración de Horus, incomprendido y traducido erróneamente por Joseph Smith». Más tarde dijo que el Libro de Abraham está «confirmado ahora como una quizá bien intencionada, pero errónea invención de Joseph Smith», y «a pesar de su autenticidad como una narrativa histórica genuina, el Libro de Abraham sigue siendo un testigo valioso de la historia religiosa estadounidense temprana y al recurso a textos antiguos como fuentes de la fe religiosa moderna y la especulación».

Numerous non-LDS Egyptologists, beginning in the mid-19th century, have heavily criticized Joseph Smith's translation and explanations of the facsimiles, unanimously concluding that his interpretations are inaccurate. They have also asserted that missing portions of the facsimiles were reconstructed incorrectly by Smith. The controversy intensified in the late 1960s when portions of the Joseph Smith Papyri were located. Translations of the papyri revealed the rediscovered portions bore no relation to the Book of Abraham text. LDS apologist Hugh Nibley and Brigham Young University Egyptologists John L. Gee and Michael D. Rhodes subsequently offered detailed rebuttals to some criticisms. University of Chicago Egyptologist Robert K. Ritner concluded in 2014 that the source of the Book of Abraham "is the 'Breathing Permit of Hôr,' misunderstood and mistranslated by Joseph Smith." He later said the Book of Abraham is now "confirmed as a perhaps well-meaning, but erroneous invention by Joseph Smith," and "despite its inauthenticity as a genuine historical narrative, the Book of Abraham remains a valuable witness to early American religious history and to the recourse to ancient texts as sources of modern religious faith and speculation."
