Jedi Codices

The Jedi Codices were ten volumes written between 26,000 BBY and 25, 700 BBY by Kinel Skywalker, a proto-Jedi Master and the ancestor of Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa Solo, and his followers. The first tome, The Book of Silence, was written by Kinel himself in the form of an epic poem. Other volumes in the codices included The Book of Masters, which contained teachings written by Skywalkers' twelve students; The Book of Light, which explained how to construct a lightsaber; and The Book of Eternity, which detailed the afterlife for all living beings and included the directions for a Jedi on how to become a Force ghost.

The Book of Silence
The first known book written by the holy man Kinel Skywalker. This book describes "the days before days," when the universe was black and blank; the void was nameless, all in the days before the Big Bang. The Birth of the Force took place soon after the Big Bang, along with the creation of good and evil, and the forging of the Living World and the Afterworlds.

The Book of Voices
The book about the earliest days of the Jedi. Various topics included in this volume were the discovery of midichlorians and the importance of the balance between light and dark.

The Book of Masters
The book that chronicles teachings from the twelve students of Kinel Skywalker. This book was discovered by Luke Skywalker in the house of Ben Kenobi in 3 ABY.

The Book of Powers
This book details the three primary Force powers: control, alter, and sense.

The Book of Darkness
Details the history of the Sith.

The Book of Light
Deals with the construction of a lightsaber. Describes the practice of using crystals and the different kinds that can be used, plus the advantages/benefits of natural versus synthetic crystals. Also chronicles the seven primary forms of lightsaber combat and their derivations. This book was also discovered by Luke Skywalker in the house of Ben Kenobi in 3 ABY.

The Book of Balance
This book contains the first mention of the Chosen One prophecy. It also explains in further detail why the Light Side must always prevail over the Dark Side.

The Book of Rooms
Details many other known traditions of those who were Force sensitive, but were never part of the established Jedi Order. Includes the teachings and history of the High Order of Iziaka, the Mephis Kyo, the Enlightened Ones of the Chatos Knighthood, etc.

The Book of Visions
Using the Force in dream divination and interpretation. Something believed by Kinel Skywalker and his followers, but not by later Jedi. Also goes into detail about using the Force to see the future.

The following book was missing for over ten thousand years until presented to Aduman Nical and Chevor Mikayzd on Vouroso by the last known Whills shaman in 480 BBY. Chevor traveled to Aeithera and hid the book in the archives of the Cultural University, where it was found by Meaithe Akam in 3.4 ABY:

The Book of Eternity
Details what takes place for a Jedi after death. Talks about the structure of the Afterworlds, and how a Jedi can retain their identity after the end of physical life, thereby enabling access to the Living World in spirit form without the need for an intermediary. This book emphasizes that it is not only Jedi who have the ability to retain afterlife identities. All living things have this capacity.
