EA-CORPORA-24 — The Twenty-Fourth Seating

MANUS, 27 October 2026: "need to seat the book of mormon but im not doing it without several diverging simultaneous traditions in the batch" — and, offered the traditions that divided in 1844 or the Book of Mormon's own diverging editions: "1. definitely. lets go."

The seating is a year. On the night of 22–23 May 1844 the Bab declared his mission in Shiraz and began the Qayyum al-Asma'. On 27 June Joseph Smith was killed at Carthage, Illinois, and the church he founded divided over who should lead it. The Millerites, who had reckoned the return of Christ for 1843, fixed it in August at 22 October 1844, and the day passed. In the same year Hong Xiuquan, who had seen his vision in 1837, went out preaching into Guangxi with Feng Yunshan, where the God Worshippers' Society that became the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom took shape. Each tradition is seated with the scripture it began from and with the documents of the division that followed: the Twelve and Strang, Baha'u'llah and Subh-i Azal, the Sabbatarian Adventists, and the Taiping kingdom whose God spoke through Yang Xiuqing.

• Scope: Both sides of the tradition that began in Shiraz on the night of 22–23 May 1844, when the Bab declared his mission to Mulla Husayn and began the Qayyum al-Asma'. The Bab: the Qayyum al-Asma' (Ahsan al-qisas) in the copy given by Mulla Husayn, the Persian Bayan, and Panj Sha'n, in the Iran National Baha'i Archives manuscripts. The division after him: Baha'u'llah's Kitab-i Iqan in the first lithograph (Bombay, c. 1882) and the Mishkin Qalam lithograph (Bombay, 1893), al-Kitab al-Aqdas in Tumanskii's St. Petersburg edition (1899), and 'Abdu'l-Baha's Traveller's Narrative in Browne's facsimile of the Persian (1891), on the Baha'i side; and the Kitab-i Nuqtatu'l-Kaf in Browne's edition (1910), the history Browne attributed to Hajji Mirza Jani and read as the Azali account, an attribution Baha'i scholarship disputes.

• Why seated: The second tradition of 1844: the Bab declared his mission in Shiraz on 22–23 May 1844, five weeks before Joseph Smith was killed; after the Bab's execution (1850) his followers divided between Subh-i Azal and Baha'u'llah, as the Latter Day Saints divided between the Twelve and Strang.

How the seats were made

Sources located on the Internet Archive (advanced search; item metadata read for access restriction and files; each item's text layer read for its title page, so that the 1840 Book of Mormon, the 1845 Doctrine and Covenants and the Browne volumes are identified from their own title pages), in H-Bahai's digital library (the Iran National Baha'i Archives volumes and the digital reprints of the Iqan lithographs and Tumanskii's Aqdas, each with its descriptive page read), on Project Gutenberg (Bates) and on Chinese Wikisource (the Taiping books, each page fetched at a recorded revision as wikitext and rendered HTML, with the text layer derived by code). Every Internet Archive file checked against the md5 the Archive publishes; none differed. H-Bahai publishes no checksums: its files are hashed as fetched. Every file hashed into its seat's MANIFEST.sha256. Every verified locus of a text layer is a string found in it by rebuild/corpora/ea-corpora-24/seat.py; the loci of the manuscripts and lithographs, which have no text layer, are read from the scan and recorded with the page. 40 works in 4 seats; 591 files; 303,071 lines of text layer.
