A venerated Jedi text, originating from the earliest days of the Jedi Order, functioned as a book filled with accumulated wisdom. During the period spanning 3 ABY to 4 ABY, Luke Skywalker, a Jedi undergoing training, journeyed to the Living Sea on the planet Gazian. This location was a living vergence within the Force, and he sought Jedi knowledge there. After a conversation with a mental projection of Jedi Master Elzar Mann, Skywalker obtained the sacred text from the skeleton of a dead Jedi. Subsequently, while aboard Amilyn Holdo's starship, the Skyfarer, Skywalker, along with Holdo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, and Leia Organa, found themselves marooned in No-Space. The Skyfarer was abandoned within the Great Hall of the Nihil, formerly the primary base of operations for the Nihil. While the rebels were at the Colony of Kezarat, Skywalker voiced his concerns to Organa about the potential loss of the book, emphasizing its irreplaceable nature and its importance to his continued training. Concurrently, aboard the Skyfarer, Killdroids infiltrated the vessel with the aim of extracting a Path engine that had been integrated into the ship. One of these droids proceeded to hurl the text from the ship, leaving it precariously dangling on the edge of the Great Hall.
By the time of 34 ABY, Skywalker, now elevated to the rank of Jedi Master, had placed the text with other similar items in the tree library located on the planet Ahch-To. Rey, who was Skywalker's Padawan, later departed the planet, taking the texts with her on the Millennium Falcon.
