Eight letters of which I have these:
-E-S-A-S
Clue:
"Deliverers blundered as he is in the book"

Persians would fit the pattern, ...but not the clue?
Feldspars? Hessians?
Any ideas?

messiahs - anagram of 'as he is' in ms (manuscript)?

Of course! Now why didn't I see that!
Probably because I'm not religious?
In my own defense I think "deliverers" is pushing the clue a bit.
Curiously enough this very site didn't come up with that answer either!

One of the definitions of messiah is deliverer.

I tried to post the dictionary link but was not allowed to!!
