Shalidor's Insights (Quest)

Background
"Urag gro-Shub is looking for writings by the Arch-Mage Shalidor, so that he can translate them into something useful for the College. He's asked that I attempt to find another copy for him."

- The Dragonborn

Walkthrough
Once you have been admitted to the College of Winterhold you have access to the Arcanaeum. The Arcanaeum is tended by an old Orc named Urag Gro-Shrub. You have to ask Urag if he needs any special books to be found. Urag will talk about the Arch-Mage Shalidor and his understanding of magic. Urag will then ask you if you wish to find Shalidor's Insights for him. Accept.

In the chest located on the map a copy of Shalidor's insights is found. Return the book to Urag and receive 30 gold.

Bugs

 * There is a known glitch in which the player will not be able to return the book until after they have obtained the Staff of Magnus.
 * The quest marker may point to a spot where the book is not located.
 * For months, the "Shalidors Insights" quest failed to provide me with a quest marker. Only after I discovered "The Katariah" boat and completed the Dark Brotherhood quest "Hail Sithis!" did the quest marker appear on The Boat.
