Description
Edited by Royal Skousen. New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2009. Hardbound, 7.75×9.5″, 837pgs.
Over the past twenty-one years, editor Royal Skousen has pored over Joseph Smith’s original manuscripts and identified more than 2.000 textual errors in the 1830 edition of the Book of Mormon. Although most of these discrepancies stem from inadvertent errors in copying and typesetting the text, the Yale edition contains about 600 corrections that have never appeared in any standard edition of the Book of Mormon, and about 250 of them affect the text’s meaning. Citing the earliest sources available, Skousen corrects the text in a work of remarkable dedication that will be a landmark in American religious scholarship.
