Pearl Publishing Releases Free Transcription of Mormon Gold Plates

The downloadable PDF consolidates several foundational and purportedly recovered texts into a single volume. It includes a retranslation of the 1828 lost manuscript—the 116 pages originally associated with Martin Harris—alongside the 1830 text of the Book of Mormon printed by E.B. Grandin. The collection also features The Sealed Portion, a 2004 text presented as Moroni’s abridgment of the vision of the brother of Jared, which historical accounts have long described as the sealed segment of the plates.

The Real Illuminati, which identifies itself as an esoteric organization linked to figures from Latter-day Saint tradition, claims the release serves as a counter-record to institutional religious influence. The group asserts that its mission is to combat government and religious corruption while promoting individual free thought. Interested parties can access the full transcription through the publisher’s website or the Real Illuminati portal.
