Good afternoon, a brain tease which has me stuck on the following for which I would appreciate some help. Thanks in advance!

( Solvers are invited to find ILLUMINATION in a crucial page in a historic book of evidence which has been damaged. Unclued entries name the book’s title ( 4 words) and 4 key witnesses ( 1 in short ), all to be highlighted along with 34 other cells whose letters are omitted in the wordplay of their clues ( in 5 cases causing its total loss). Blocks of adjacent cells naming symbols of each witness, 1 in each quarter, must be highlighted ( 16 cells total ) and their illustrations optionally restored. Single extra characters in 17 otherwise normal clues confirm the page’s location.
Chambers Dictionary ( 2016 ) is highly recommended. )

Many thanks, ProfessorMaisie, for your evaluation! I think I’m going to enjoy this one, checking for the inclusive words and parsing. I contemplate entering the longer words first, three of eleven letters each so that I might get a good start. And sure I would like you to tell me where to enter the two examples I submitted for your comments. I’ll be using a new thread for further queries as suggested by NACW. Merci beaucoup!
