Do you mean the Book of Mormon? Most of the Book of Mormon was written between the reign of Zedekiah of Judah (about 600 BC) and about 430 AD. One portion was written at a time earlier than this and describes events that happened shortly after the fall of the Tower of Babel. The Book of Mormon was buried by its last writer, Moroni, somewhere near 430 AD. Moroni then appeared to Joseph Smith in the mid 1820's and lead him to the place where the record was buried. Joseph Smith translated it into English and the Book of Mormon was first published in 1830. The Book of Mormon is used as scripture along with the Holy Bible by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly nicknamed the "Mormon" church).
