SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Wednesday unveiled a new collection that features some of the faith's most treasured artifacts, including a page from the original Book of Mormon manuscript written by founder Joseph Smith.

The "Foundations of Faith" exhibit that opens to the public this week in the church's history library in Salt Lake City also includes 26 other books, manuscripts and documents that go back to the early days of Mormonism. The Book of Mormon is considered the religion's most valuable manuscript, said Richard E. Turley, assistant church historian and recorder.
