at http://shields-r.simplenet.com/AChap09.htm I
found some stuff about the anthon transcript. It
seems that the basic conclusion of the transcript
is that it appears to have some egyptian characters
that can be identified as numbers. B.H. Roberts concludes:
The writer is of the opinion that there is in this statement [of Martin Harris] too
wide a scope given to what Professor Anthon said of the translation of the
Egyptian-Nephite characters. Of course in the transcripts the professor would
doubtless recognize some Egyptian characters of the hieratic Egyptian, and in
Page 61
the translation would also find a right interpretation of those characters, as it will be
seen by his letters, quoted later in the body of the work [Roberts'], he acknowledges
that the characters submitted to him were true characters' but beyond this I do not
think he could give confirmation as to the correctness of the translation.
So it seems that there is still no translation
available as far as I have found thus far.
