Yes, there are references to King Josiah in The Bible, particularly in the Books of Kings and Chronicles. Josiah was a king of Judah who implemented religious reforms and sought to restore proper worship of God. His story can be found in the Old Testament.
The book that was allegedly found in the Temple during the time of Josiah is believed to have been the Book of Deuteronomy. Scholars believe that King Josiah commissioned the Deuteronomist to write the book, and that it was hidden in the Temple with the intention that it would be found and portrayed as of great antiquity.

AnswerThe book found, or supposedly found, in the Temple during the reign of King Josiah was the 'Book of Law', believed to have been the Book of Deuteronomy. Scholars say that the relatively modern Hebrew language in the book, along with its similarity of style to other books written during the reign of Josiah (Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings), indicate that this book was also written during this time and only placed in the Temple in order to be 'found' there. This allowed Josiah to claim antiquity for the book when reading it to the people of Jerusalem.
