Auf Englisch gibt es nur wenige Berichte. AFP meldete:

A priceless 12th century guide to Spain’s Way of Saint James pilgrimage, the Codex Calixtinus, has disappeared from the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, police said Thursday.
One of the Western world’s first ‘guidebooks’, it is only shown to the public on special occasions such as Pope Benedict XVI’s visit last November to the northeastern Spanish city.
Cathedral staff reported it missing on Wednesday afternoon, said a police spokeswoman.
“We are investigating its disappearance,” the spokeswoman said.
“It is usually kept in a room to which only half a dozen people have access,” she said, and special security measures are taken whenever it is unveiled to the public.
The manuscript is a collection of texts including sermons, homilies to Saint James and practical travel advice to pilgrims.
It was created during the period of Pope Callixtus II, who encouraged pilgrimages and decided in 1122 that every year that Saint James’ Day of July 25 falls on a Sunday should be considered a holy year.

Die unersetzliche Handschrift hat in mehreren Sprachen einen Wikipedia-Artikel:
