Do you know of other cases where missing parts of famous stories or books were found but the general public probably never heard of it?

Not very popular here, but The Swerve: How the World Became Modern is an interesting work that looks at the pre-modern recovery of Ancient works of knowledge and literature, often by rich benefactors sending young priests and university students to monasteries. The second part dwells almost entirely on Lucretius. I have seen many complaints about it on here, and am not knowledgeable enough to answer them, but the complainers probably arent either so take it as you will.
Also, if you look into Gaza Vermes latest works on the dead sea scrolls and Elaine Pagels work on the Nag Hammadi Codices, the work shows how biblical textual archaeology adds to our own knowledge of the corpus of biblical texts, as well as the interesting work done in Iceland over the last 200 years recovering the edda corpus.
