Missing pages of a Henry VIII–era manuscript found after centuries
Reported byScientific American ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Pages 8 and 9 of Nicholas Love's 15th-century Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ, a religious text that once belonged to John Gage, an enforcer in Henry VIII's court, have been recovered and are now held at the University of Sussex. The manuscript had been separated for centuries before the pages were rediscovered among papers at the Firle Estate.
