EA-CORPORA-24 is the twenty-fourth seating of primary sources on the Crimson Hexagonal Archive's originals shelf, deposited by Lee Sharks on 27 October 2026. It was made at his request to seat the Book of Mormon only beside other traditions that diverged at the same time, and it is organized around the year 1844, in which four religious traditions began or divided. Seat 24/01 holds the Latter Day Saint texts to the succession crisis that followed Joseph Smith's death at Carthage, Illinois, on 27 June 1844: the Book of Mormon in its first edition (Palmyra, 1830) and its revised third edition (Nauvoo, 1840), the Book of Commandments (1833), the Doctrine and Covenants of 1835 and 1845, the Times and Seasons of September 1844, and James J. Strang's counter-claim in the Voree Herald (1846) and The Diamond (1848). Seat 24/02 holds the Babi and Baha'i texts in Arabic and Persian: the Bab's Qayyum al-Asma', begun on the night of his declaration in Shiraz on 22–23 May 1844, and his Persian Bayan and Panj Sha'n in manuscript; Baha'u'llah's Kitab-i Iqan in two Bombay lithographs and al-Kitab al-Aqdas in Tumanskii's 1899 edition; and the two histories of the division between Baha'u'llah and Subh-i Azal edited by Edward G. Browne. Seat 24/03 holds the Millerite movement and its aftermath: William Miller's Evidence (1842), the Western Midnight Cry, the True Midnight Cry that fixed the return of Christ for 22 October 1844, Joseph Bates's Seventh Day Sabbath (1847) and Ellen G. White's Sketch (1851). Seat 24/04 holds eighteen Taiping works in Chinese from Wikisource, including Hong Xiuquan's Yuandao tracts, the Taiping Old and New Testaments of 1853 and Hong Rengan's New Treatise of 1859. The seating comprises 40 works and 591 files. Internet Archive files were checked against their published md5 sums, text loci were found in the seated text and the loci of manuscripts and lithographs were read from the scans. Items not seated, including the 1837 Kirtland Book of Mormon, Strang's Book of the Law of the Lord and the original Taiping imprints, are listed as queued.
