Pseudepigrapha — not canonical

Anderson critical edition of the Latin Vita Adae et Evae (Lechner-Schmidt text, Custis/Anderson/Layton translation, U. Virginia IATH); includes medieval Latin appendices 52–57. These texts are not endorsed in any LDS canon — see framing.

1(1.1) When Adam and Eve were expelled from paradise they made for themselves a tent and spent seven days mourning and lamenting in great sadness.

Public-domain text. Pseudepigrapha are extra-canonical witnesses to the Second Temple and early Christian worlds; read with discernment. The Apocrypha endorsement in D&C 91 does not extend to these texts.
