7 Book Of Moses Series By Jeffrey
In the present article, Part 1, we respond to material in his article that bears on three questions. He rightfully argues that if important textual sources are missing, mistranscribed, or misunderstood, no amount of subsequent analysis can fully compensate for what may have been lost in the mishandling of this essential prerequisite.Although Townsend’s examples range over several topics in Latter- day Saint history and scripture, our response focuses specifically on topics relevant to the Book of Moses. In a separate discussion that highlights the potential significance of handwriting analysis to textual criticism, Bradshaw and Dahle respond to Townsend’s arguments that the spelling difference between the names Mahujah and Mahijah in the Book of Moses may be due to a transcription error.In a recent article, Colby Townsend commendably pointed the attention of his readers to the importance of embracing textual criticism as a key element of methodology for studying Latter-day Saint documents. A dialogue with Colby Townsend and Charles Harrell on rich issues of theological and historical relevance demonstrates the potential impact of the different answers to such questions by different scholars. Among the differences discussed is the question of whether it is better to read Moses 7:28 as it was dictated in Old Testament 1 version of the Joseph Smith Translation manuscript (OT1) that “God wept,” or rather to read it as it was later revised in the Old Testament 2 version (OT2) that “Enoch wept.” Far from being an obscure technical detail, the juxtaposition of the two versions of this verse raises general questions as to whether readings based on the latest revisions of Latter-day Saint scripture manuscripts should always take priority over the original dictations. The present article, Part 1 of a two-part series by Jeffrey M. Bradshaw and Ryan Dahle, commends Colby Townsend’s efforts to raise awareness of the importance of textual criticism, while differing on some interpretations.
We owe great thanks to early pioneers such as Robert J. Matthews 1 and Richard P. Howard 2 as well as to the more recent scholarship by Kent P. Jackson, Scott Faulring, and other associates we discuss in more detail below. What Is the Status of Textual CriticismCompared to the other works of Latter-day Saint scripture, the study of the text of the Book of Moses has accelerated more slowly. Do the original manuscripts of the Book of Moses indicate that Mahujah and Mahijah are separate names?In Part 2, we will continue the discussion of the Book of Moses names Mahujah and Mahijah, and the similar names Mahujael in Genesis 4:18 and Mahaway in the pseudepigraphal Book of Giants.Beyond the particulars of the response to Townsend’s paper, we hope this discussion will contribute to a better appreciation of the role and importance of textual criticism in understanding Latter-day Saint scripture. What is the status of textual criticism on the Book of Moses as a whole?
The book contains a chapter on the “Historical Text” (pp. Unfortunately, and more to Townsend’s point, the broader field of Latter-day Saint studies has not paid the kind of attention to Jackson’s book that it deserves.The goal of Jackson’s 2005 book was to answer two questions: “What was Joseph Smith’s intended text?” and “How did we get from that to the current text?” 10 It explains the major developments of the Book of Moses from the original manuscript in OT1 11 to the 1981 canonical edition. According to Kent P. Jackson, the Joseph Smith Translation (JST) manuscripts (of which the Book of Moses is a part) have already received “a higher level of redundant scrutiny than is the norm in documentary editing.” 8 Although Townsend cites Jackson’s 2005 book, 9 The Book of Moses and the Joseph Smith Translation, his article does not give a description of its contents because, while it is related to the issues he describes in his article, it does not provide a critical text of the sort he is calling for. His primary concern is the need for more textual criticism of books in the Pearl of Great Price, going beyond documentary editing. 7After having encountered this statement, readers may think scholarly treatment of the Book of Moses has been deficient, but Townsend’s comment has more to do with completeness than quality.
What Specific Concerns Does Townsend Raise about Document Transcription?With respect to the Jackson and Faulring’s transcriptionsOf the manuscripts of the Joseph Smith Translation, Townsend summarized his assessment as follows:Like previous copyists that have transmitted the text of the Book of Moses, Jackson and Faulring have made errors in their transcription. Gratefully, we have been able to rely on the JSTEL for all of the JST manuscript images used in the figures of the present article. 16 The JSTEL allows readers to scrutinize every word and letter of the transcriptions. 15 The transcriptions of the JST documents created by Faulring, Jackson, and Matthews were used to help create the transcription now found on the Joseph Smith Papers website. 143–171) brings the OT1 and OT2 manuscripts together into a single place, “with the words as the Prophet left them , but with grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation standardized.” 14 In addition, high-definition images of these JST manuscript pages have been available since the inexpensive publication of Joseph Smith’s Translation of the Bible Electronic Library (JSTEL) in 2011. 13 Additionally, a chapter entitled “Manuscript Text” (pp.
