According to 2 Kings 22:8 priests found a book of law in the Jerusalem temple during the renovations undertaken during the reign of King Josiah. Biblical scholars say this book, the Book of Deuteronomy, was not so much rediscovered, but written and placed in the Temple so that it could be "found" there and declared an ancient manuscript. A very similar case is reported in the Book of Jeremiah some years later, demonstrating that this would not be the only case in which a document was hidden then 'found' by the priests.
