Editing Inclusio (section)

==In Latter-day Saints Scripture==
Wording in the [[Second Book of Nephi]], where [[Nephi, son of Lehi|Nephi]] begins and ends his writing on the "[[Plates of Nephi|small plates]]", has been seen as an ''inclusio'': the term "good" is used three times. Matthew Bowen notes that "This repetition at the opening and closing of his account constitutes a framing device sometimes called ''inclusio'' or an envelope figure".<ref name=bowen>Bowen, M.

Another example is cited in the [[Book of Alma]] where [[Alma the Younger]] teaches his son about the doctrine of the resurrection, framing the passage in chapter 40, verses 22-24 by an inclusio.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hardy |first=Grant |date=2023 |title=The Annotated Book of Mormon |publisher= Oxford University Press |page=430 |isbn=978-0-19-008220-8}}</ref>
