More DescriptionThe Panel has the remit to consider claims from anyone who lost possession of a cultural object, during the Nazi era, that is now in the possession of a UK national collection. A 12th Century manuscript (the missal) was lost from Benevento between September 1943 and April 1944 and a claim has been brought for its return from the British Library. The Panel concluded that the claimants have made good their moral claim and an appropriate remedy must be found. Whilst that is being decided they recommend that the missal should be returned on loan.
