The Restored Covenant Edition of the Book of Mormon was first published by the Zarahemla Research Foundation, under the guidance of Ray Treat, in 1999 to restore words from the Original Manuscript and the Printer’s Manuscript that were either left out or changed. Due to improved imaging technology, it is now possible to read some words in both manuscripts which were illegible at the time of the initial publication of the RCE (1999). As a result, those words which are now legible in the manuscripts and were previously incorrectly published are being corrected in the 2023 edition. Because of errors and changes made to the Printer’s Manuscript after 1830 edition was printed but before the 1837 edition was printed, the Original manuscript is used unless it is unreadable or nonextant. The following is a list of corrections made in the 2023 edition with images of the manuscript where each change was found. Major changes in the 1999 edition and other interesting finds are included on this page.
