Anthrobar's Scroll was a partial copy of the Book Bound in Pale Leather, made by a priest named Anthrobar. The attempt was fatal; Anthrobar "turned his brain to a cinder" making it. The partial copy was used by the Kencyrath to get to Rathillien after the Fall, the Book being in the hands of Gerridon. After arrival, the scroll was lost.

Quote	The third was the greatest loss, I'm told. Nobody ever dared to memorize it, not at least since a priest named Anthrobar turned his brain to a cinder simply by trying to copy the damn thing—and to make matters worse, his partial transcript, which is what we used to get to Rathillien, disappeared soon after our arrival.
abstract	Anthrobar's Scroll was a partial copy of the Book Bound in Pale Leather, made by a priest named Anthrobar. The attempt was fatal; Anthrobar "turned his brain to a cinder" making it. The partial copy was used by the Kencyrath to get to Rathillien after the Fall, the Book being in the hands of Gerridon. After arrival, the scroll was lost. It shows up again in Tai-tastigon; Jame is asked by Ishtier to retrieve the Law Scroll of the Kencyr temple, which he says is in the hands of the idol in Gorgo's temple. Jame foolishly promises to bring him the scroll in the idol's hands—but she knows enough to know that the scroll she finds is not the Law Scroll but something far older and more deadly. The attempt to copy the Book could only work if Anthrobar was successful in copying the Master Runes without any attempt to read or understand them, copying them as shapes and patterns only. However, it is clear to Jame that Anthrobar, despite himself, began to see the words forming, and began to rush, faster and faster, sloppier and sloppier pen-work until the strokes cease in mid-word with his death. Jame is unwilling to bring Ishtier anything of such value, but is bound by her word; Marc, accompanying her, would then be bound by his oath as a City guard to turn her over. The latter conundrum is solved by Marc realizing that he can steal the Scroll; in the excitement, he startles Jame and she topples off into the water. The scroll is ruined; the ink runs, and nothing remains legible. She realizes that this scroll can be safely returned to Ishtier without breaking her word and without giving him things she believes he shouldn't have. She's surprised, though, when Ishtier's words of anger when he finds out that the scroll is ruined are not to do with losing the chance of escape from Rathillien, but rather regret the chance to end the Kencyrath's long struggle. She doesn't make the connection yet that Ishtier has aligned with Perimal Darkling. Unfortunately, her words back to him led him to conclude she has read the real Book, since they contain words not in the copy.
