Over the past twenty-five years, editor Royal Skousen has thoroughly examined Joseph Smith’s original dictated manuscript and the printer’s manuscript (the copy made for the 1830 printer) as well as 20 published editions of the Book of Mormon and has identified more than 2,000 differences between the original text and the standard text of today. Although most of these discrepancies stem from inadvertent errors in copying and typesetting the text, the Yale edition contains over 600 corrections that have never appeared in any standard edition of the Book of Mormon, and about 250 of these 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. Completely redesigned and typeset by nationally award-winning typographer Jonathan Saltzman, this edition has been reformatted in sense-lines, making the text much more logical and pleasurable to read. Featuring a lucid introduction by historian Grant Hardy, the Yale edition serves not only as the most accurate version of the Book of Mormon ever published but also as an illuminating entryway into a vital religious tradition.
