BoM Sources

Has anybody ever seen a compiled list of possible Book of Mormon sources by chapter. I think it would be a very interesting project given that at this point there are so many possible derivative sources.

I'm sure that going chapter by chapter already identified sources would account for much more than 50% of the book.

Re: BoM Sources

I think a chapter by chapter style.

You could crowdsource it?

Have a public drop box style page where people could take a bite out of chapters and books.

A lot is out there, it would be compiling, assembling as well

Marry to changes Smith made in his Inspired (cough) translation of the bible which don't match the BoM.

Be quite a powerful document really

Cash,

You need to watch Chris Johnson's *brilliant* presentation at the October 2013 Exmormon Conference. He takes a big-data approach to try to explain where Joe Jr.'s ideas came from.
