Creation of The Pearl of Great Price (1851) https://rsc.byu.edu/archived/volume-3-number-1-2002/how-we-got-book-moses According to the above link: In 1851, Elder Franklin D. Richards of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles was serving as president of the British mission in Liverpool. Sensing a need to make available for the British Saints some of Joseph Smiths revelations that had been published already in America, he compiled a mission pamphlet entitled The Pearl of Great Price.[19] His intent was that his little collection of precious truths would increase [the Saints] ability to maintain and to defend the holy faith.[20] In it he included, among other important texts, excerpts from the Prophets New Translation of the Bible that had been published already in Church periodicals and elsewhere: the first five and a half chapters of Genesis and Matthew 24. Elder Richards did not have access to the original manuscripts of the JST, and the RLDS Inspired Version had not yet been published. For the Genesis chapters, he took the text primarily from excerpts that had been published in Church newspapers in the 1830s and 1840s. But those excerpts had come from OT1 and did not include Joseph Smiths final revisions that were recorded on OT2. The Genesis material was in two sections: Extracts from the Prophecy of Enoch . . . (Moses 6:437:69) and The Words of God, which He Spake unto Moses . . . (Moses 1:15:16, 1940; 8:1330).
