LICENSE CONFIRMED clean (PD). COMPARISON/LINKING MAP — Book of Mormon <-> Bible (wire side-by-side against existing corpus texts isaiah, matthew, malachi; verify exact verse ranges vs imported chapter structure before linking): 1 Nephi 20-21 <-> Isaiah 48-49; 2 Nephi 7 <-> Isaiah 50; 2 Nephi 8 <-> Isaiah 51-52:2; 2 Nephi 12-24 <-> Isaiah 2-14 (largest Isaiah block); 2 Nephi 27 <-> Isaiah 29 (paraphrase/expansion); Mosiah 14 <-> Isaiah 53; 3 Nephi 22 <-> Isaiah 54; 3 Nephi 24-25 <-> Malachi 3-4; 3 Nephi 12-14 <-> Matthew 5-7 (Sermon on the Mount, delivered at the temple in Bountiful). These are the highest-value internal comparison links and directly satisfy the 'Isaiah/2 Nephi parallels' ask. Suggested topics already present on passages: messiah-savior, prophecy-vision, sacred-law.
Source recordMarked PD via the 'LDS Documentation Project' export (github.com/beandog/lds-scriptures). RIGHTS QA FLAG: the underlying 19th-century revelation text is public domain by age, but modern official LDS editions carry a Church copyright on editorial apparatus (section headings/summaries, footnotes, and
Action for admin: verify the beandog repo README license and that the D&C import excludes copyrighted modern-edition editorial apparatus. Comparison value is modest but real: D&C eschatology/restoration language echoes biblical texts (e.g., D&C 133 draws on Isaiah and Revelation imagery; D&C 76 vision of the degrees of glory <-> 1 Corinthians 15:40-42). Useful for thematic links (covenant, prophecy-vision, apocalypse, resurrection) rather than verbatim parallels.

DISPLAY-SAFE (PD by age, archive as sidecars after verifying a direct image URL + license, ingest=false): (1) 1830 Book of Mormon title page (first edition, E. B. Grandin, Palmyra) — link to book-of-mormon; available via Wikimedia Commons / Wikisource / Joseph Smith Papers. (2) Book of Abraham Facsimiles 1-3 (1842, Times and Seasons) — link to pearl-great-price (Abraham); PD by age. RIGHTS-REVIEW (do not assume reusable): josephsmithpapers.org high-resolution photographs of the printer's manuscript and original documents — the manuscripts are PD by age but JSP's own photography/site terms must be checked before archiving any specific image. RECOMMENDATION: a focused image pass to archive the PD title page + Abraham facsimiles with confirmed direct URLs and rights metadata.

COMPARISON/LINKING MAP: Moses 1-8 <-> Genesis 1-6 (creation, Adam, Enoch, Noah — a 'restored/expanded' retelling, strong side-by-side value vs corpus 'genesis'); Joseph Smith-Matthew <-> Matthew 24 / Mark 13 (Olivet discourse); Abraham 3-5 <-> Genesis 1-2 + premortal/creation council. SOURCE-IMAGE NOTE: the Book of Abraham Facsimiles 1, 2, 3 (printed 1842) are public domain by age — strong display-safe images for the Abraham material (see image-leads record).
