The Sacred Jedi Texts. Index, page 1. Luke's library on Ahch-To: Luke traveled the galaxy collecting artifacts of the ancient Jedi religion, including 8 volumes of Jedi scripture. Some of the texts have been identified, while others remain unnamed at time of writing. To keep track of them, we have elected to index each book, based on the order that they appear in Luke's library. The index starts with JT01 (Aionomicum I) on the far left, through JT08 (The Rammahgon) on the far right. (There is an accompanying screenshot from The Last Jedi (2017 film): Rey's hand reaches towards a row of 8 books with strange bindings, which rest on a raised stone shelf. Some of the books have alien writing on their spines, while others are relatively bare, they are all of different dimensions; they look ancient, earthy, and worn. Text is overlayed on the screenshot, labelling the texts from left to right as described in the accompanying text. Four of the books are also labeled with names: JT01 is 'Aionomicum I'; JT05 has the bracketed title '[TLJ Hero]'; JT06 is 'Aionomicum II'; and JT08 is 'The Rammahgon'. To the right, two more titles are acknowledged thus: 'Known Texts without Positive ID: The Chronicles of Brus-bu (JTX1) and Poetics of a Jedi (JTX2)')

JT01: Aionomicum I

The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT01: Aionomicum I, page 1. (An image of a large retangular book with a smoothly textured worked leather cover. The pattern on the front forms regular four-leafed floral shapes. The spine is tacked on with brassy metal, and is worn and full of irregular holes.) Known History: The Aionomica was a collection of early writings and correspondences among the first to explore and codify the Force. It is bound in two volumes, compiled by Jedi Master-historian Ri-Lee Howell. The first volume (Aionomicum I) contains annotations attributed to Jedi Master Odan-Urr, (founder of the Great Jedi Library on Ossus). This suggests that Aionomicum I was compiled sometime prior to his death (before 3,996 BBY), while many of its writings are likely far older. At some point, parts of the Aionomica were duplicated and stored in holocrons, but those holocrons are now lost. Both volumes came into Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's possession sometime before 28 ABY. The cover of Aionomicum I or The First Volume is made of organo-silicon hide etched with a decorative pattern. The volume contains marks and notes from Jedi librarians across centuries.
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT01: Aionomicum I, page 2. Known Contents: Tythonian wildlife: A description of 'notable beasts' of Tython. Length, date, and author unknown. Lightsaber diagrams: Illustrated depictions of lightsaber construction. It is unclear whether these are hypothetical, experimental, or instructional in nature; by author or authors unknown. The Unsolved Theorem of Master Thorpe: A hyperspace plotting conundrum posed to Padawan learners; also a hand-drawn 'Phases of Mortis' solution to the problem; whether the theorem or the solution are original or copies is unknown; date, author or authors unknown. (Notes added by later authors are present on the 'Phases of Mortis' solution, attributed to Jedi Master Odan-Urr, before 3,996 BBY.) Visualization of the Chain Worlds Theorem: Also known as the World Between Worlds, or Vergence Scatter; date, author or authors unknown.
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT01: Aionomicum I, page 3. Apocryphal Content (Literal Prop Translations): Protobesh: The majority of the Aionomicum I is written in the Protobesh script, an ancient writing system, which has a one-to-one correspondence with the Latin Alphabet, allowing us to translate the text exactly as it appears in the prop. As such, these translations are not strictly canonical, but may yet provide useful insights. Some passages are left wholly or partially untranslated due to lack of readability. (An accompanying image of a full page spread of Aionomica I is shown. Parts of the page fold out to be wider than the binding of the book. There are geometric diagrams, astronomical charts, and diagrams resembling the hilt of a lightsaber. Notes in several scripts are visible, including the Protobesh mentioned.) (This image is labeled with translations which range in intelligibility from complete thoughts, to seemingly random words, to pure gibberish. Rather than transcribing all of them in this alt text, a subset of the most meaningful notes has been selected, to avoid clutter (spelling has also been standardized)): 'The Force is strongest. / The Force flows freely. / The Force is all.' 'Beware anger and fear the dark side.' 'Split pieces can be no longer used to channel the Force, failed pieces are highly volatile.'
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT01: Aionomicum I, page 4. Apocryphal Content (Literal Prop Translations, continued): Former Draethos (unofficial name): Although the in-universe meaning of this script is unknown, the text is taken from a real-world document written in Old Persian by Abu Rayhan al-Biruni. Direct translations are provided to the best of my ability. (An accompanying image showing detail of an astronomical diagram from a page of Aionomica I. Beside it is a smaller scan from al-Biruni's original illustration and notes on the phases of the moon; it is clearly the original source of this diagram, and his writing is indeed preserved in the duplication.) (The Aionomica image is labeled with translations of the Former Draethos (Old Persian) notes): 'Full Moon.' 'Moon's center' (this note marks the center of the Moon's apparent orbit). 'Dark Moon.' 'Moon of the eight night. 'Light of the Sun' (this note marks a point far outside the Moon's orbit).
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT01: Aionomicum I, page 5. Apocryphal Content (Literal Prop Translations, continued): Protobesh: (See JT01: Aionomicum I, page 3.) Burkean Cursive (unofficial name): Certain pages of Aionomicum I are written in a cursive script of unknown origin or meaning. (An accompanying image shows another page of the Aionomica I; there are mathematical graphs, and strange shapes, as well as a tree-like graph pasted in; there is also a lot of text, some of which is obscured by the pasted-in graph.) (Text labels give translations of the alien writing. They are transcribed here, with standardized spelling, and with repetition kept to a minimum, to avoid clutter in the alt text): 'Ignition process. Once the crystal is aligned, stability is critical. Once aligned, the crystal begins to glow once correct aligned, crystal fits into clamp. Crystal is most volatile at this stage.' 'And therefore illegal to trade. Pieces are often traded amongst the smugglers and black marketeers as a power source.' 'In the second phase of each star cycle, the Jedi [...] the chance to align their being with the Force.' 'The Force flows freely. This means nothing to me. The Force is all. The final chance to Force-align. Star phase three, entire crystal, two faceted side, lorem ipsum, spacebu, crystal will be divided into three pieces, is misaligned.'
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT01: Aionomicum I, page 6. Metatextual Data: Named by Rian Johnson in early draft of The Last Jedi. The name seems to come from early Greek αἰών (aion) 'life' combined with H. P. Lovecraft's Necronomicon, variously translated as 'The Book of the Laws of the Dead' or 'The Book of the Names of the Dead' or 'The Book of the Dead.' By treating it (as Lovecraft did) as a pulp-fictional translation rather than a rigid one, The Aionomica can be taken to mean 'The Books of the Living' or 'The Books of the Names of the Living.' The prop hero and filler pages were designed by Dan Burke. The prop shares (at least) some content with The Rammahgon and Aionomicum II (see Appendices, page 9). The prop refers to 'Dan' and 'Spacebu;' both are likely references to the artist who designed its contents, Dan Burke. The Unsolved Thorpe Theorem is a reference to an early treatment of Star Wars, by George Lucas, which features a character named Chuiee Two Thorpe of Kissel, a Padawan of Mace Windy. The compiler of the Aionomica, Ri-Lee Howell was named in honor of Riley Howell. Sources: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019 film).

JT02

The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT02: [Organic Spine], page 1. (Detail of a screenshot from The Last Jedi, focusing on the second book from the left of the bookshelf. It has a rough spine seemingly woven or grown from green organic material.) Known History: JT02 came into Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's possession sometime before 28 ABY, and subsequently passed into Jedi Rey's possession. The spine appears to be made of organic material woven or grown for this purpose. Known Contents: None. Possible Identification: JT02 could be either The Chronicles of Brus-bu (JTX1) or Poetics of a Jedi (JTX2), but only because neither can be definitively ruled out.
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT02: [Organic Spine], page 2. Metatextual Data: Judging by the spine, the cover may be based on concept art by James Carson, which features Aurebesh on the cover, transliterated as 'Zeoht'. (An accompanying image of the concept art in question, which similarly features a cover apparently grown from organic plant matter, emblazoned with a Rebel Starbird insignia and Aurebesh lettering.)

JT03

The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT03: [Geometric Spine], page 1. (Composite illustration of JT03, combining elements from a screenshot from The Last Jedi, a still from The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary, and hand sketched to suggest the scale of the fragmentary image. Only the spine and a small portion of the cover are clearly seen. The spine features a winding geometric pattern engraved on light material, while the portion of front cover we can see is made of a darker material and carved with geometric reliefs.) Known History: This book came into Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's possession sometime before 28 ABY, and later fell into the possession of Jedi Rey. The protocol droid C-3PO was able to read from the book. The spine features a winding geometric pattern engraved on light material, while the front and back covers are made of a darker material. At least one cover is carved with geometric reliefs, and the corners have metal corner protectors. The spine is bound together with decorative cordage.
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT03: [Organic Spine], page 2. Known Contents: The Jedi and the Force: C-3PO is known to have translated at least one brief passage of the book for Rey, as she began her study of the texts: 'The Force is the light, the Force is the dark. The Jedi choose the light, for all it reveals.' Possible Identification: It is possible that JT03 is either The Chronicles of Brus-bu (JTX1) or Poetics of a Jedi (JTX2). Judging by the opening poetical refrain read by C-3PO, and the description of Poetics as being 'a thin folio' that feels like a slightly more probable identification.

JT04

The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT04: [Marabesh Spine], page 1. (Detail of a screenshot from The Last Jedi, focusing on the fourth book from the left of the bookshelf. It has a smooth spine made of wood or bone, engraved with arcing circular symbols.) Known History: JT04 came into Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's possession sometime before 28 ABY, and subsequently passed into Jedi Rey's possession. The spine is decorated with glyphs or symbols in an unknown script, referred to herein as Marabesh (see Appendices, page 7). Known Contents: None. Possible Identification: JT02 could be either The Chronicles of Brus-bu (JTX1) or Poetics of a Jedi (JTX2), but only because neither can be definitively ruled out. Sources: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017 film). Image Sources: Page 1: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017 film).

JT05

The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 1. (A photograph of JT05: A codex with a reddish-brown cover with thick, raised markings. The front cover is made of three hinged panels connected together with cord. The cover is attached to the spine in a similar manner. The book is angled as if set on a table.) Known and Extrapolated History: Little is known about the history of JT05 before Luke Skywalker discovered it in the arms of a skeleton within the Living Sea of Gazian in 3 or 4 ABY. The front cover is made up of three hinged vertical panels. The first panel (counting from the spine) is decorated with the word 'JEDI,' written in the relatively modern Aurebesh; the second is decorated with a geometric pattern that does not appear to be linguistic in nature; the third panel contains several symbols of unknown origin or meaning, which we will call Serianan Runes (unofficial name). The pages within are written in an ancient calligraphic script (see JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 3) and feature extensive gold illumination, both in text and in decoration. Most of the pages show signs of extensive damage. Neither Aurebesh nor the unknown symbols on the cover match the language the book itself is written in, suggesting that this is not the original cover.
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 2. Known Contents: The Crest of the Jedi Order: The first page of JT05 features what is perhaps the earliest extant depiction of 'the winged blade of light' or 'the living sunrise' ideogram that would later become the official Crest of the Jedi Order. (An accompanying photograph of JT05 open to its first page: In the center of the page is the Crest of the Jedi Order, in blue and gold illumination; it is surrounded by writing in an alien language; the page has significant losses, with the upper left and lower right corners missing completely, and much of the inks worn off besides; the pages are blackened from the edges running inward, and appear brittle.) The use of such a potent religious symbol on its opening page, along with the presentation of the contents in such a uniformly illuminated style and its lack of marginal annotations, suggests that this volume (in contrast to composite works such as the Aionomica, which were deemed sacred only after their writing) was from its very conception intended to be a sacred work. Planetary phase diagrams: The most prominent images associated with JT05 are its diagrams of planetary phases. It is unclear however what planets they refer to, if they are meant to be taken literally at all. Philosophy on, and color illustrations of, Kyber crystals: Tells how young Jedi would go to Ilum to find their own Kyber crystals. Choosing a crystal and building a lightsaber was a rite of passage.
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 3. Apocryphal Content (Literal prop Transliterations): Kitisakkullian (unofficial name): JT05 is written in a calligraphic script of unknown origin or meaning, originally drawn by concept artist Chris Kitisakkul. Unlike other writing systems with that possess one-to-one correspondence with the Latin Alphabet, this one does not. We will therefore interpret it as a 35-glyph syllabary (see Appendices, page 4) and provide a transcription (rather than a translation) of the six known pages. (An accompanying concept art image of page 1 of JT05: The Crest of the Jedi Order emblazons the lower part of the page, while the upper third is covered in illuminated text written in a variety of inks: primarily dark brown, red, blue, and gold; it appears to have been written with a broad-nibbed quill or pen, with wide spacing between individual letters.) (To the right of the image is a transcription of its contents, laid out in the same arrangement as the contents of the original page. Rather than include all of the alien text verbatim, cluttering the alt-text, the first line of each page will be provided. Page 1: 'Kur hannapuku shina nu Sha ha rmu...')
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 4. Apocryphal Content (Literal prop Transliterations, continued): Kitisakkullian: (see JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 3). (An accompanying concept art image of page 2 of JT05: Circles intersected by arcs are inked in blue and gold. Text written in brown and red runs from the top of the page, in between these planetary figures, to the bottom gold geometric borders run on the top and bottom margins.) (To the right of the image is a transcription of its contents, laid out in the same arrangement as the contents of the original page. Rather than include all of the alien text verbatim, cluttering the alt-text, the first line of each page will be provided. Page 2: 'Mumatushu shina hurimaha...')
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 5. Apocryphal Content (Literal prop Transliterations, continued): Kitisakkullian: (see JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 3). (An accompanying concept art image of page 3 of JT05: A large blue and gold circle stands out in the upper right; the blue half of the circle contains three crescents moving from thin to thick from left to right; in the bottom left is a blue elipse containing more moon-phase diagrams: six crescents around the outside and a solid gold circle in the middle; text runs from the top of the page to the bottom, between the celestial diagrams; some letters are illuminated in gold and blue, while geometric borders subdivide the text.) (To the right of the image is a transcription of its contents, laid out in the same arrangement as the contents of the original page. Rather than include all of the alien text verbatim, cluttering the alt-text, the first line of each page will be provided. Page 3: 'Hajina su sahirunu...')
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 6. Apocryphal Content (Literal Prop Transliterations, continued): Kitisakkullian: (see JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 3). (An accompanying concept art image of page 4 of JT05: Two diagrams made up of overlapping circles in blue and gold are set along the vertical cetner line of the page; on either side in brown and illuminated gold and blue ink, text fills in the space.) (To the right of the image is a transcription of its contents, laid out in the same arrangement as the contents of the original page. Rather than include all of the alien text verbatim, cluttering the alt-text, the first line of each page will be provided. Page 4: 'Mumatushu shina ... su sahiru nu...')
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 7. Apocryphal Content (Literal Prop Transliterations, continued): Kitisakkullian: (see JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 3). (An accompanying concept art image of page 5 of JT05: The page is subdivided by a grid of straight and u-shaped runs of text in brown and red; planetary circles cover several overlaps; more text runs within the negative spaces of this grid, some in brown and others in gold and blue; geometrice illuminated borders frame the upper and lower margins.) (To the right of the image is a transcription of its contents, laid out in the same arrangement as the contents of the original page. Rather than include all of the alien text verbatim, cluttering the alt-text, the first line of each page will be provided. Page 5: 'Kur hiru nu puki...')
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 8. Apocryphal Content (Literal Prop Transliterations, continued): Kitisakkullian: (see JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 3). (An accompanying concept art image of page 5 of JT05: The page is subdivided by a grid of straight and u-shaped runs of text in brown and red; planetary circles cover several overlaps; more text runs within the negative spaces of this grid, some in brown and others in gold and blue; geometrice illuminated borders frame the upper and lower margins.)

The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 9. A Final Mystery (Known and Extrapolated History, continued from JT05, page 1): By 35 ABY, some pages (including Page 4) of JT05 appear to have been removed from their binding and relocated to another volume of Luke's library, in a loose-leaf fashion. It is uncertain when this happened, or to which volume they were relocated. Based on the visual reference available to us, it is most likely JT02, (although it could aslo be JT07). Did Luke or Rey undo the binding on JT05? and why were these pages removed? Possible Identification: JT05 could be either of the named-but-unidentified Jedi Texts. Both JT05 and The Chronicles of Brus-bu (JTX1) are known to have sections about lightsaber construction, though JT05 is notable for being more philosophical than practical on the matter. It is possible that this is Poetics of a Jedi (JTX2). However, Poetics is described as a 'thin folio,' for which there are better candidates among the library.
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT05: [TLJ Hero], page 10. Metatextual Data: The cover is closely based upon concept art by James Carson. (Said piece of concept art is shown. It depicts a book with a wood cover made up of three hinged vertical segments, with writing in alien scripts running down each panel; the spine however is bear and exposes the threads used for binding the volume together.) The interior pages were designed by Chris Kitisakkul. At least three copies of JT05 were created for The Last Jedi, (see The Director and the Jedi, around the 56 minute mark).

JT06

The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT06: Aionomicum II, page 1. Known History: The Aionomica was a collection of early writings and correspondences among the first to explore and codify the Force. It is bound in two volumes, compiled by Jedi Master-historian Ri-Lee Howell. The first volume (Aionomicum I) was likely compiled prior to 3,996 BBY, whereas the age of the second volume is less certain. At some point, parts of the Aionomica were duplicated and stored in holocrons, but those holocrons are now lost. Both volumes came into Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's possession sometime before 28 ABY. At some point, the spine of Aionomicum II was expanded or replaced. By 28 ABY, the spine was carved with lettering in Aurebesh and High Galactic. The use and relatively standardized forms of these later scripts suggests the carvings were added well after the compilation of the texts. (An accompanying photograph of the front cover of Aionomica II: It appears to be molded into radiating 'ribs' raised against the surface of the book; the edges of its pages are worn and distorted.)
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT06: Aionomicum II, page 2. Known Contents: 'What is, is without': Writings by Jedi Master Mott Corbet expounding upon his dictum 'what is, is without;' written vertically in Tionese. A note containing Protobesh: Inserted into Master Corbet's writing is a small square piece of paper containing 'PF Two' in Protobesh.
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT06: Aionomicum II, page 3. Apocryphal Content (literal Prop Translations): Aurebesh: A relatively modern alphabetical script, in common usage by 300 BBY. The alphabet has a nearly one-to-one correspondence with the Latin Alphabet, allowing us to translate the text exactly as it appears on screen. High Galactic Alphabet: Another relatively modern alphabetical script, in occasional use by the fall of the Galactic Republic. This is the in-universe designation of the real-world Latin alphabet. (An accompanying photograph of the spine of JT06, which is made of 4 pieces of bamboo-like wood, tied into two rows with some kind of cord; the pieces of the spine are decorated with very shallow carving, which is worn away with age; some of the carving depicts legible writing, which is labeled.) (The labeled Aurebesh text reads: 'Martyn,' (twice), and 'Jedi [not legible].' The labeled High Galactic text reads: 'MD,' drawn in the style of a set of initials.)
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT06: Aionomicum II, page 4. Metatextual Data: Named by Rian Johnson in early draft of The Last Jedi. The name seems to come from early Greek αἰών (aion) 'life' combined with H. P. Lovecraft's Necronomicon, variously translated as 'The Book of the Laws of the Dead' or 'The Book of the Names of the Dead' or 'The Book of the Dead.' By treating it (as Lovecraft did) as a pulp-fictional translation rather than a rigid one, The Aionomica can be taken to mean 'The Books of the Living' or 'The Books of the Names of the Living.' The prop hero and filler pages were designed by Dan Burke. The spine makes reference to 'Martyn' and the initials 'MD', likely a reference to props workshop supervisor, Martyn Doust. The prop shares (at least) some content with The Rammahgon and Aionomicum I (see APDX:09). The compiler of the Aionomica, Ri-Lee Howell was named in honor of Riley Howell. Although too blury to see, it is likely that the text labeled 'Tionese' in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary is in fact written in Protobesh, leaving no confirmation that Tionese is the in-universe counterpart to the Greek alphabet.

JT07

The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT07: [Raised Star Map Cover], page 1. (Composite reconstruction of JT07: Its front cover has lines and dots raised well off the surface, as if molded in clay; the raised marks resemble a star map; the edges of the cover are irregular; the spine is relatively uneventful by comparison, with slight insets and slightly obscure markings.) Known History: This text came into Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's possession sometime before 28 ABY and was later passed on to Jedi Rey's possession. Its front and back covers appear to depict a raised star map, which is different on each face. The spine has some markings, but whether they are decorative or textual is not clear. Known Contents: None. Possible Identification: JT02 could be either The Chronicles of Brus-bu (JTX1) or Poetics of a Jedi (JTX2), but only because neither can be definitively ruled out.

JT08

The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT08: The Rammahgon, page 1. (Photograph of the Rammahgon lying shut: Its cover is red, with a raised circular ridge on the front, forming a sort of crater; within the crater are more subtly raised bumps outlining a shape like a Rebel Alliance insignia; the spine is made of something that looks like bamboo, which has been split in several places but bound together with cord.) Known History: The Rammahgon was written before 5,000 BBY. It is written primarily in the Protobesh script, with few known exceptions. At least some of the text is in Coremaic. The original book was widely thought to have been destroyed more than 5 millennia ago, until it was rediscovered by Luke Skywalker among the ruins of Ossus. Interestingly, some illustrations contained in the Rammahgon may only be 4,000 years old, on pages which make several references to the planet Exegol, a rumored stronghold of the Sith in the Unknown Regions. Were these pages written after the book's presumed destruction? Luke has also made annotations to the Rammahgon, journalling his search for the Emperor's wayfinder. The pages and spine of the Rammahgon are made of Uneti wood, and its cover is made of red 'clay' pressed from interstellar gasses. Raised bumps in the clay form the rough outline of a starbird symbol, similar to the one later adopted by the Rebel Alliance.
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT08: The Rammahgon, page 2. Known contents: Four origins: Four conflicting origin stories of the cosmos, the Force, and the Jedi, along with the precepts derived from those stories; recorded by author or authors unknown, over 5,000 years ago: 'The Fourth Precept' which is a poem that describes gods battling in the primeval universe; describes an omniscient 'eye,' which is depicted on the cover of the book. A Chapter by Kli the Elder: This chapter may be part of the Four Origins section, or it may be a later commentary: 'The Prime is One, but the Jedi are Many. The Sith were Many but often emerge Ruled by Two. The Seeds of the Jedi have been Sown throughout the Galaxy, on Ossus, Jedha, Xenxiar, and Others. The Sith have no Seeds, since what they Bury does not Grow. They are the Despoilers of Worlds, and have Laid to Waste once Fertile Habitats such as Korriban, Ziost, Ixigul, Asog, and Others.' Notes on Sith Navigational Tech: Apparently added sometime after the disappearance and presumed destruction of the Rammahgon circa 5,000 BBY; by author or authors unknown: Coremaic passages concerning deep space dangers and the Galactic Barrier; a cartouche containing the name 'Exegol,' alongside a detailed illustration of a Sith wayfinder, and the insignia of the Sith Eternal cult; abstract hyperspace map to Exegol; illustration of paired wayfinders; Exegol symbology, starchart extrapolations, and bosonic diagrams. Luke's Notes: Likely added between 4 and 28 ABY, or possibly later, documenting the search for the Emperor's wayfinder; written by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker: Illustrated studies of the wayfinder and possible configurations; notes describing his concerns that the Emperor's troves of Sith and Jedi artifacts would be dangerous if they fell into the hands of nefarious agents; his concern about a disturbance he felt in the Force while tracking Occhi of Bestoon; amended hyperspace map, connecting Ahch-To with the route to Exegol.
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT08: The Rammahgon, page 3. Apocryphal Content (Literal Prop Translations): Protobesh: The majority of the Rammahgon is written in the Protobesh script, an ancient writing system, which has a one-to-one correspondence with the Latin Alphabet, allowing us to translate the text exactly as it appears in the prop. As such, these translations are not strictly canonical, but may yet provide useful insights. (An accompanying screenshot from The Rise of Skywalker, of Rey reading from a page of The Rammahgon: There are long and short passages of text, and illustrations of a Sith Wayfinder and the emblem of the Sith Eternal.)

The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT08: The Rammahgon, page 7. Discrepencies Between Canon and Prop: In place of an exhaustive comparison between the canonical and apocryphal contents of the Jedi Texts, this direct comparison is given as an illustration. This is how this 'hero' page of the Rammahgon is labeled in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: Visual Dictionary (left), compared with an accurate labelling of the literal prop contents (right): (Two copies of the same image are included with different labels: A page of the Rammahgon as it appears in the Rise of Skywalker visual dictionary). (The first label points to a vertically written block of text outlined in a rectangle. Canon says 'Cascading Coremaic text regarding the Galactic Barrier,' while the literal reading corrects this to 'Cascading Coremaic text regarding lightsaber ignition.') (Another label points to an identical block of text on the opposit page. Canon says 'Coremaic text warns of deep space dangers,' while the literal reading corrects this to 'Coremaic text exactly duplicating the opposite page.') (Another label points out a hastily scrawled note in blue ink: 'Skywalker's inserted notes describing his concerns', which the literal reading gives as 'Notes regarding lightsaber assembly and crystal alignment') (There are several more labels with minor differences, but the last and most important one points to a small rounded cartouch containing vertical letters. The canon label tells us it is a 'Protobesh cartouche containing the name Exegol', while the literal prop reading says 'Protobesh cartouche containing the word Courage')
The Sacred Jedi Texts. JT08: The Rammahgon, page 8. Metatextual Data: Named by Rian Johnson in early draft of The Last Jedi. The name might be influenced by the Sanskrit epic Ramayana. The name of its main character 'Rama' means 'dark.' The prop hero and filler pages were designed by Dan Burke. The prop shares (at least) some content with The Aionomica (Books I and II) (see APDX:09). The prop refers to 'Stannah Stairlift' a real-world brand of accessibility lifts from Hampshire, UK. The prop refers to 'Barry Homeowner' a fictional character from the comedy podcast Athletico Mince. Kli the Elder was invented by author Michael Kogge. 'The Fourth Precept'—canonically a poem—is named for a stand-alone comic by Stephan Martiniére, appearing in Star Wars: Visionaries—a visual tone-poem, consisting of symbolic illustrations without concrete narrative structure. (An accompanying full-page illustration from 'The Fourth Precept' by Stephan Martiniére: In a pale green cosmic expanse, two humanoid figures carrying swords of light seem to float or dance in the center of a glowing orb of energy while around and below, demonic, dragon-like creatures prepare to attack or else are repelled by the figures' power.)

Jedi Texts without Positive ID:

JTX1

The Sacred Jedi Texts. JTX1: The Chronicles of Brus-bu, page 1. Known History: The Chronicles of Brus-bu came into Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's possession sometime before 28 ABY, and subsequently passed into Jedi Rey's possession and became her favorite of the volumes, which she consulted while attempting to build her own lightsaber. Known Contents: The Chronicles of Brus-bu contained information which Rey found useful in constructing and repairing lightsabers, including lightsaber chrystal attunement and arcane Force techniques: 'The Jedi attune themselves to their saber's crystal, but the Sith attune the crystal to themselves. They corrupt and bleed it of power, as they do to everything they dominate....' Healing techniques; Rey used the underpinnings of these techniques to repair or heal the broken kyber crystal in her lightsaber. Possible Identification: Almost all of the unidentified Jedi Texts (JT02, 03, 04, 05, and 07) are possible candidates for being The Chronicles of Brus-bu, with only JT05 having additional evidence in its favor, by way of its contents also being relevant to lightsaber construction. Sources: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: A Junior Novel, by Michael Kogge. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary, by Pablo Hidalgo.

JTX2

The Sacred Jedi Texts. JTX2: Poetics of a Jedi, page 1. Known History: Poetics of a Jedi came into Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's possession sometime before 28 ABY, and subsequently passed into Jedi Rey's possession. Known Contents: Poetics of a Jedi contained the following passage written by Jedi Master Lyr Farseeker: 'The mind of a Jedi can move mountains. But the heart of a Jedi can move souls. For there is more to the Jedi than the Force. There is kindness, there is compassion, there is light, and there is love.' Possible Identification: Almost all of the unidentified Jedi Texts (JT02, 03, 04, 05, and 07) are possible candidates for being Poetics of a Jedi, as, to varying degrees, any of them could match the description of being 'a thin folio.' Sources: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: A Junior Novel, by Michael Kogge.
Appendices:

Appendix A: Languages

The Sacred Jedi Texts. Appendix A: Languages; appendices, page 1. Writing Systems of the Sacred Jedi Texts: Protobesh: An ancient alphabetic script, dating to earlier than 5,000 BBY. It may have been in use as late as 1 BBY on Jedha, during the Imperial occupation. The alphabet was used to write the ancient Coremaic language used in The Rammahgon. The alphabet has a one-to-one correspondence with the Latin Alphabet, allowing us to translate the text exactly as it appears on screen. Protobesh can be written vertically or horizontally, with important words sometimes written in cartouches. Words are sometimes separated by a dot, designating a space. (An alphabet chart showing correspondence between Protobesh and the Latin alphabet: Protobesh letters are rounded and calligraphic in quality, demonstrating great variability in weight depending on speed or direction of the stylus.) Some passages in the Rammahgon are written in a more condensed variant style. (A depiction of the variant style of condensed, almost rectilinear variant in question.)
The Sacred Jedi Texts. Appendix A: Languages; appendices, page 2. Writing Systems of the Sacred Jedi Texts (continued): Tythonian Algebra (unofficial name): An ancient script often seen alongside graphs, that appears to be numerical. Because this script has no official name or translation, this guide calls it 'Tythonian Algebra' (after the planet Tython, one of the possible origins of the Jedi), and uses the following assigned values to interpret them as a base-25 positional system. (A numerical chart showing the given correspondence between these symbols and the modern Hindu-Arabic numeral system, from 0 to 25; some of the numbers are made up of simple lines, while the higher numerals become more or less increasingly complex, with turns and hooks.)
The Sacred Jedi Texts. Appendix A: Languages; appendices, page 3. Writing Systems of the Sacred Jedi Texts (continued): Burkean Cursive (unofficial name): An ancient cursive script, dating to before 5,000 BBY. It often appears in the context of navigational charts. Because this script has no official name or translation, this guide refers to it as 'Burkean Cursive' (after Dan Burke, who originally designed the pages on which it appears). No attempt is made in this guide to assign meaning to this script. (A facsimile of a passage of text in the style being refered to. Entire lines of text seem to be written without lifting the pen more than once or twice; there are long ligatures between denser clusters of scribbles.)
The Sacred Jedi Texts. Appendix A: Languages; appendices, page 4. Writing Systems of the Sacred Jedi Texts (continued): Kitisakkullian (unofficial name): An ancient script used to write JT05. Because this script has no official name or translation, this guide gives it the name 'Kitisakkullian' (after the designer of the original script, Chris Kitisakkul), and uses the following syllabary to provide one plausible transcription of the text. Each character represents a syllable. Words are separated by a dot. When placed before a syllable, the voiced symbol indicates that the following syllable must be voiced; when placed after a word, it is treated as punctuation—often transliterated as an exclamation mark. The unvoiced symbol works similarly, indicating that the following syllable must be unvoiced, or serving as punctuation when appearing after a word—often transliterated as a question mark. The unvoiced symbol has two forms which are interchangeable. (A chart illustrating the syllabary, with a symbol for each combination of consonant and vowel, plus the aforementioned voice markers.)
The Sacred Jedi Texts. Appendix A: Languages; appendices, page 5. Writing Systems of the Sacred Jedi Texts (continued): Aurebesh: A relatively modern alphabetical script, in common usage by 300 BBY. Among the Jedi Texts of this library, it is primarily used on the book covers, which in general may not be as ancient as the contents of the books. The alphabet has a nearly one-to-one correspondence with the Latin Alphabet, allowing us to translate the text exactly as it appears on screen; the only exceptions to this correspondence is the presence of 8 digraphs—glyphs which represent two letters in sequence. (An alphabet chart showing correspondence between Aurebesh and the Latin alphabet: Aurebesh letters are bold, wide, and complicated as an alphabet. Beyond the 26 letters of the alphabet are 8 digraphs (letters which represent a combination of two letters).)
The Sacred Jedi Texts. Appendix A: Languages; appendices, page 6. Writing Systems of the Sacred Jedi Texts (continued): Former Draethos (unofficial name): An ancient cursive calligraphic script, dating to before 5,000 BBY. Its use in the Jedi Texts is attributed to Odan-Urr, a Draethos Jedi said to have founded the Great Jedi Library on Ossus. Although the in-universe meaning of this script is unknown, the text is taken from a real-world document written in Old Persian by Abu Rayhan al-Biruni. None of al-Biruni's words seem especially out of place within the Jedi Texts, so it might be reasonable to interpret 'Former Draethos' as the in-universe name for Old Persian, in the same way that 'High Galactic' is the in-universe name for the Latin Alphabet. (A facsimile of a several phrases in Old Persian, as they appear in JT06.)
The Sacred Jedi Texts. Appendix A: Languages; appendices, page 7. Writing Systems of the Sacred Jedi Texts (continued): Marabesh (unofficial name) (right): An ancient script adorning the spine of JT04. Because this script has no official name or translation, this guide calls it 'Marabesh' (after the similar-looking Marabic script used in the Disneyland ride, Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye). No attempt is made in this guide to assign meaning to this script. (A facsimile of Marabesh glyphs, as they appear on the spine of JT04.) Tionese (not pictured): An ancient script originating from the planet Tion. In Legends, this was the in-universe name for the Greek alphabet. Serianan Runes (unofficial name) (below): A script used side-by-side with Aurebesh (see APDX:05) on the cover of JT05. Because this script has no official name or translation, this guide calls it 'Serianan Runes' (after similar-looking symbols featured in the Star Wars Adventurer's Journal #8 story Scout's Dispatch). No attempt is made in this guide to assign meaning to this script. (A facsimile of Serianan Runes, as they appear on the cover of JT05.)
The Sacred Jedi Texts. Appendix A: Languages; appendices, page 8. Other Ancient Writing Systems: There are countless writing systems throughout the galaxy. Here is a small sampling of known writing system whose antiquity makes them likely candidates for inclusion somewhere in the Jedi Texts. Do not take this list as comprehensive, as there are certainly many writing systems which are unknown to us at this time, which may be discovered among the Jedi Texts. Zeffo Runes: The petroglyphs of the ancient Force-using Zeffo culture likely pre-date or overlap with the earliest Jedi Texts. (A facsimile of Zeffo Runes, as they appear on the walls of Zeffo temples throughout the galaxy.) McQuarrie Runes: These runes came in several forms and were used to transcribe languages such as the Old Tongue and the Sith language ur-Kittât. At various times, they were used by the Zeffo, the Jedi, and the Sith. (A facsimile of McQuarrie glyphs as they appear in certain ancient Jedi temples.) Domabesh: An ancient precursor to Aurebesh (see APDX:05), likely dating to 5,000 BBY or earlier, which adorned the walls of the holy city NiJedha as well as the Sith Temple of Exar Kun. (A facsimile of Domabesh, as it appears on an ancient Hyperspace Dataplaque.)

Appendix B: TROS Ur-Text

The Sacred Jedi Texts. Appendix B: TROS Ur-Text; appendices, page 9. Apocryphal (Literal Prop) Ur-Text: Much of the translatable text found in The Rammahgon and Aionomica props from The Rise of Skywalker is repititious and incomplete. By combining these repeated incomplete pieces, a coherent ur-text (a hypothetical original source) can be reasonably constructed. However the precise order and meaning may be harder to determine from the limited sources. The following is one possible ur-text for the Jedi Texts in The Rise of Skywalker: 'Once your lightsaber is assembled, crystal must be Force-aligned or the blade will not ignite.' 'In the second phase of each star cycle, the Jedi is offered the chance to align their being with the Force of their chosen crystal.' 'This is the final chance to Force-align. In star phase three, the entire crystal will be split in thirds.' '[...] although common is often and easily misaligned. Split pieces can no longer be used to channel the Force. Failed pieces are highly volatile and therefore illegal to trade. Pieces are often traded amongst the smugglers and blackmarketeers as a power source.' 'Ignition process: The crystal begins to glow once the crystal is correctly aligned. Stability is critical. Crystal fits into crystal clamp. At this stage, the crystal is most volatile.' 'The Force is strongest. The Force flows freely. The Force is all.'

Appendix C: Other Religious Texts

The Sacred Jedi Texts. Appendix C: Other Religious Texts; appendices, page 10. Translating Other Religious Texts: While Luke's and Rey's library of texts are sometimes referred to as 'The Sacred Jedi Texts,' they are certainly not the only Jedio-Sithic religious writings available for translation and corroboration. The Sith Dagger of Ochi of Bestoon: Inscribed with McQuarrie runes in the Sith language of ur-Kittât sometime between 4 and 28 ABY with the coordinates of Darth Sidious's Sith Wayfinder, a navigational tool necessary to find the location of the Sith world of Exegol: Canonical translation: 'The Emperor's Wayfinder is in the Imperial vault at delta 3-6, transient 9-3-6 bearing 3-2, on a moon in the Endor system. From the Southern shore, only this blade tells.' Apocryphal transliteration: [Excluded so as not to clutter the alt-text. It is a fairly random meaningless string of letters.] [An accompanying photograph of the Sith dagger: It has a leather-wrapped handle; the hilt and blade are made of silvery metal; the blade is symmetrical, with irregular in-cuts midway down the length of the blade; the surface of the blade is covered in dense rectanglar runes.] Obsidian Sith Temple inscription: The desk of Dryden Vos is held up by a slab of obsidian plundered from a Sith temple, and engraved with 'hierogrlyphs' representing warding spells. The text is rendered in a variation of Aurebesh known as Domabesh, and can give the following direct translation: Apocryphal content (literal prop translation): 'Our temple / honouring / Sith Lord / Exar Kun.' [A photograph of Dryden Vos's desk: the top and base of the desk are made of shining gold-colored metal, with insets and grooves; the table is held up by a large, roughly-hewn, pointed stone slab, which impales the desktop by several inches; the front surface of the stone is smooth, and covered in vertically written Domabesh runes and circular decorations.] Image sources: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary, by Pablo Hidalgo.

The Sacred Jedi Texts. Appendix C: Other Religious Texts; appendices, page 11. Translating Other Religious Texts (continued): Engraved Sacred Kyber: An inscription found on a Kyber crystal, stolen from the Kyber Temple of NiJedha, was written in Protobesh. It is unclear how old the inscription is: Apocryphal content (literal prop translation): '[Trus]t / in the / Force'. (Accompanying screenshot from Rogue One of the crystal in question: The crystal is mostly clear and transparent; it is attached to an open slide-out frame of a cylindrical metal cylinder; the crystal is as big as an adult human's arm; someone's red robe falls across the frame to the left; in the surface of the crystal, words are carved vertically in Protobesh, broken up into 3 cartouches.) Image sources: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, (2016 film).
The Sacred Jedi Texts. Appendix C: Other Religious Texts; appendices, page 12. Known Contents of Other Religious Texts: Other religious texts are known to us only by their contents: Collected Poems, Prayers, and Meditations on the Force: Collected sometime prior to 1BBY by a Disciple of the Whills named Kozem Pel. Known contents include: The Guardian's Mantra: 'The Force is with me, / And I am one with the Force; / And I fear nothing, / Because all is as the Force wills it.' The Coxixian Prayer for the Departed: 'From this moment I step into my next. From this place I step into my next. From this life I step into my next. For I am one with the Force, For ever and For ever'; The Jedi Code: 'There is no emotion, there is peace. / There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. / There is no passion, there is serenity. / There is not chaos, there is harmony'; The Code of the Sith: 'Peace is a lie. There is only passion. / Through passion, I gain strength. / Through strength, I gain power. / Through power, I gain victory. / Through victory my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.' The Bestiary of Darth Caldoth: Written by Darth Caldoth by 1031 BBY. The book describes Sith warbeasts. Sometime before 88 BBY it fell into the possession of the Jedi, and was kept within the Jedi Archives of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Sources: Guardians of the Whills, by Greg Rucka.
