Summary by Ground News
Will Sideri stumbled upon a framed document hanging on a wall at an estate sale in Waterville, Maine. It had elaborate script in Latin, along with musical notes and gold flourishes. Will bought the manuscript for $75 US. Academics later confirmed that the parchment was from The Beauvais Missal, a religious manuscript produced in the 13th century. It was used in Roman Catholic worship.
