I had to read this a couple times to figure out what you meant.
So... here's the allakhazam page as it currently exists
Quote:
Combine Page 30 of a Book and Page 34 of a Book in the Testament of Vanear container to craft a different Testament of Vanear. Return to Rarnan and give this to him.
Rarnan Lapice says 'I sent you after that book ages ago! What took you so long? I have already completed my studies. Luckily I found the original manuscript under my bedroll. I forgot I had kept it there. Take this as a token of my apology. Maybe it will aid you in your next book hunt. I know how cunning those books can be.'
Your faction standing with Peace Keepers got better.
Your faction standing with High Council of Erudin got better.
Your faction standing with Heretics got worse.
You gain experience!!
You receive 20 gold from Rarnan Lapice.
You receive 3 platinum from Rarnan Lapice.
You receive a spell scroll.

Emphasis mine. The first bold text is where you should have stopped, as you can tell that at the end of the quest you only get a spell scroll. This isn't a bug and you weren't misinformed. The quest text on allakhazam has not changed. If anywhere, this should go in the petition forum because you're asking a GM to reimburse your mistake, but I wouldn't bother wasting their time.
