While studying at the [[Time Lord Academy]], [[The Master#Early life|the Master]] schemed to obtain the book from the Panopticon Archives, believing it held the key to ultimate power. He manipulated one of his Professors, [[Chronotis|Salyavin]], and, when things went awry, framed Salyavin for the attempted theft. Realising he would be imprisoned whether guilty or innocent, Salyavin ironically decided to actually steal the book for himself before he was arrested.

After escaping from [[Shada]], Salyavin, in his new identity as Chronotis, decided to take the book with him to [[20th century]] [[Earth]] when he officially retired; he knew it was the only remaining way for other Time Lords to get back to Shada now that he had erased all knowledge of it from their minds so as to hide his jailbreak. Chronotis would later describe his crime in bringing such a dangerous book to Earth an argument, an oversight — but only inasmuch as he had "overlooked the fact that he had decided to take it".

[[Alternate timeline (The Book of Shadows)|An alternate timeline]] was once created by the introduction of anachronistic technology to 331 BC [[Alexandria]] by [[Rhakotis]]. One such piece of technology was the installation of time-travel portals to the royal library, which allowed the library's scholars to travel to the 20th century where they acquired the book and brought it back home to Alexandria. The reading aloud of the book by [[Barbara Wright]] resulted in the reversion of the timeline such that Rhakotis' arrival only resulted in his death, averting the timeline.
