Anthon TranscriptNone

The Anthon Transcript is a controversial document associated with the early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church). It is named after Charles Anthon, a classicist who examined it in 1828. The transcript allegedly contained characters from an ancient language, supposedly linked to the Book of Mormon. Anthon verified some aspects of the document’s authenticity but later claimed he was misled about what it represented. The debate over its legitimacy continues, as some view it as evidence of a hoax, while others maintain its significance in the context of early Mormon history.
