In the new edition of the LDS standard works, the introduction to the Book of Abraham now reads, "The Book of Abraham. An inspired translation of the writings of Abraham. Joseph Smith began the translation in 1835 after obtaining some Egyptian papyri. The translation was published serially in the Times and Seasons beginning March 1, 1842, at Nauvoo, Illinois."
We have to guard the proof that the LDS used to belive that the papyri contained the actual writings of Abraham.
