Historians, book collectors and libraries all over the world are always after the first edition Book of Mormon. The copy contains original recording by the author or translator with clear indications that its origin is New England. There are a number of inconsistencies and apparent grammatical mistakes touching on numbers, tenses and spelling. The English used is Jacobean across all scripts.
The sacred scriptures of the Latter Day Saint Movement capture the epistles of ancient American prophets who existed between 2200 BC and 421 AD. Joseph Smith published it in 1830 as writing taken from the Plates of Nephis. The original writings, according to Smith, were referred to as reformed Egyptians and had the scriptures engraved on golden plates.
Many prophets took part in writing the scripture with the last contributor being Moroni. Moroni then buried the scripts on one of the hills in New York. In 1827, Moroni returned to the earth to reveal where the book had been buried. He instructed Smith to commence translating the scriptures. This would serve as evidence that Christ was restoring the true church on earth after centuries of distortion.
The content of original scripts include discussions on various Christian doctrines including eschatology, atonement, the original sin by Adam and Eve as well as redemption of both body and soul. There are discussions on how the latter-day church should be organized. The scriptures depart substantially at the point where Jesus appeared to American after resurrection.
The unique writing in this book has led members of the Latter Day Church to regard it as special. It is a historical record of the interaction God had with Americans beyond being Holy Scripture. It is a collection of several books with the names of their writers as they titles. Like other religious books, it has chapters and verses.
The style used in writing is a heavy borrowing from the King James Version. The English used in the original copy is Early Modern English but the book has been translated either partially or wholly to over 108 languages so far. Smith indicates that he managed to read the golden plates because he was given special spectacles by Moroni. There is an indication that more of these scriptures will be revealed at a later date because some of the plates were listed as concealed.
These revelations were witnessed by a number of people, some of whom have signed affidavits. Smith enlisted the services and assistance of Martin Harris to complete the translations. Harris is said to have disappeared with the first 168 pages after selling his land to clear printing cost. The book was completed and ready for sale in March of 1830 after Cowdery Oliver stepped in to fill the gap left by Martin.
The first edition Book of Mormon has its first page as a translation of The Very Last Leaf which was read from the golden plates. It seeks to show the great deeds God is doing to the Americans beginning with their forefathers. It was meant for distribution and use by all nations of the world.
