	~~\|subject=Oliver Cowdery's 1839 ''Defence in a Rehearsal of my Grounds for Separating Myself from the Latter Day Saints''~~
	\|summary=Although this document purports to have been published in 1839 by Oliver Cowdery, the earliest copies in existence are dated 1906. The document was "discovered" by the Reverend R. B. Neal, who was a leader in the American Anti-Mormon Association. No references to this document exists prior to 1906. This document was believed to be authentic for many years, until it was discovered that it consists primarily of a selection of Cowdery's phrases taken from various issues of the ''Latter Day Saints' Messenger and Advocate'' that were removed from their original context and placed in a different context. A number of talking points appear to have been reworded from David Whitmer's 1887 ''An Address to All Believers in Christ.'' Historians now agree that this document is a forgery.

	~~\|subject=Mark Hofmann~~
	\|summary=Gordon B. Hinckley, then a member of the First Presidency, purchased several apparently nineteenth-century documents from Mark Hofmann. They later turned out to be forgeries. Critics say that if Gordon B. Hinckley were a true prophet, he would not have been fooled into buying the forgeries.

As part of his 'prophetic call,' the author produced what he claims is a translation of the lost 116 pages, or "Book of Lehi." This portion of Mormon's ~~abridgement (from Lehi to King Benjamin, roughly) was lost by Martin Harris after the manuscript was loaned~~ to ~~him by Joseph Smith (See D&C 3, D&C 10).~~

	~~\|link=Forgeries related to Mormonism/Mentinah Papers~~
	~~\|subject=Metinah Papers~~
	\|summary=The Mentinah Papers claim to be a history of a people called the Nemenhah. They claim to be translations of papers found in the mountains around Manti, Utah (Sanpete County) in the 1800s. They claim that they have been translated by wise men speaking languages descended from the languages at the time of the Book of Mormon. The papers have never been made publicly available, but the translations have been published both on the internet and in book form. As genuine records from a people connected to the Nephites, the papers cannot be taken seriously. In addition to the numerous points in which they are not consistent with the Book of Mormon, there are theological or procedural problems. If there were to be such scripture revealed at this time, it would come through the proper channels of priesthood authority. It would come from the current Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, not from obscure individuals who claim support from unnamed apostles.
