Now, one of the earliest Book of Mormon texts is available in full color. Winner of the Mormon History Association's Best Documentary Editing/Bibliography Award, 2016. Joseph Smith and his associates created two manuscripts of the Book of Mormon. The original manuscript was created while the text of the Book of Mormon was actually being dictated. Only roughly 30 percent of this original manuscript survives as a result of extensive water damage. The printer's manuscript, which is almost entirely complete, is a copy of the original that was created to facilitate the publication of the first edition of the Book of Mormon. This volume is a facsimile edition of the printer's manuscript of the Book of Mormon. The manuscript is presented here with full-color photographs of each page and color-coded transcripts that show which revisions were made by which scribe. This book gives readers unprecedented access to this early text of the Book of Mormon. As any textual scholar is well aware, no study on these grounds can proceed very far without rigorously produced base texts. Thus, publication of the latest volume in the Joseph Smith Papers series--'Revelations and Translations, Volume 3: Printer's Manuscript of the Book of Mormon'--is a very welcome development. . . . As befits the flagship project of Mormon history, this eleventh volume in the Joseph Smith Papers is a jewel of painstaking textual scrutiny and attention to detail. --Bryan Buchanan, "Review: Skousen and Jensen, 'The Joseph Smith Papers, Revelations and Translations, Volume 3, Parts 1 & 2: Printer's Manuscript of the Book of Mormon,'" Association for Mormon Letters Discussion Board, Nov. 11, 2015 Royal Skousen is a professor of linguistics and English language at Brigham Young University and editor of the Book of Mormon Critical Text Project.
