2 Nephi 29:11 Textual Variants

Here in the printer’s manuscript, Oliver Cowdery initially wrote book (with capitalized B ) rather than the correct books. However, he almost immediately corrected his error by inserting inline the plural s (the level of ink flow is unchanged). This passage parallels the following passage from the King James Bible:

• Revelation 20:12
  • and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works

The plural books here in Revelation 20:12 supports Oliver’s virtually immediate correction of 𝓟 to the plural books, the probable reading of 𝓞 (which is not extant here).
