Sidelight on papyri
An interesting development in the work going on at BYU by Dr. Hugh Nibley on the papyri fragments turned over to the Church by the New York Museum of Art is the locating of another fragment in the vaults at the Church Historian's office.
The latest fragment "find" has been in the vaults as long as A. William Lund and Earl E. Olson, assistant Church historians, can remember. Mr. Lund has been in his post since 1911 and worked in the office since 1908. Mr. Olson has been in the historian's office since 1934.
The fragment is part of a collection the Church has regarding the Egyptian Alphabet and Grammar prepared by the Prophet Joseph Smith.
