SER1T LIBRARY An entire wing of the large subterranean vault is devoted to the keeping of a complete set of the Swnma Master Breeding Records and its Mating Index Some evidence indicates an abortive attempt to shield this sec tioo with a primitive Ixian Globe in a futile attempt to hide information from the God Emperor Leto II Scholars have yet to examine these records, and no one knows whether the Bene Gessertt leadership will ever allow access even though the failures of the Paul Atreides/Feyd-Rautha Haifconnen attempts rcn der these records inconsequential However, they undoubtably contain documentation of Bene Gessent manipulation of major figures (i e , Count Hasimir Fearing), and there are unverified reports that both the records and the index are sttU open files and continue to the present These rumon* arc obviously absurd given die success of Leto El's breeding program and the Siona Atreides/Duncan Idaho union The third major section of die vault is devoted to the Bene Gessent Reference Library and die Sisterhood's own records The Reference Library duplicates some items in the other sections, and many unique items, such as the complex code keys are of little immediate interest But the extensive religious materials are invaluable This mfor matioa, much of it unique, was the source material used to compile the astonishingly complete AzharBook* the bibliographic compendium that preserves the secrets of even the most ancient faiths Among these are priceless copies of the Zensumu Codex, a much more complete copy of the Fremen Dunebuk than the one m the General Collection (which was a popularized version edited by Irulan Comno), the Buddislarmc Codex the Navachnstian Bible, the Mahayana Lan-kavatara Blend Books, and the Muadh Quran as well as other duplicates from die Xenocul tural Collection and its Atreides section Appropriately, the Sisterhood's source books, anthologies, and instruction manuals for the Missionary Protectiva and the Panopha Propbeticits are also housed in this section whie the less sensitive teaching texts were readily available at varied locations on Walkch IX and in the branch chapter houses on other planets prior to their destruction by Leto II Housed in seemingly endless tunnels branch ing out from the mam vault are the reports of the Bene Gessent field agents Much of this material has yet to yield to the Ixian analog scanners, but selective retrievals have revealed fascinating insights and anomalies Gams Helen Mohiam s folios appear incomplete and fragmentary, surprising for a Cogita Vera (soothsayer) and a Mater Executrix One scholar has called them censored and edited but the elaborte security systems that the library once had would have m<*de such overt alterations difficult once the material was tiled On the other hand, the accounts of Lady [Mingus] Margot Fennng are wonder fully full revealing that her role m the Atreides rise was greater than suspected The reports of the Lady Jessiea Atreides, who the Sisterhood still curse as the archtraitor, naturally stopped about the time of her aql in the Fremen Ceremony of the Seed on Arrakis The reports of Jehanne Butler an important person in Bene Gessent history whose child's abortion was her personal motive for the Butienan Jihad, are complete and calculating demonstrating the effective support of the Sisterhood in that transformation of human philosophy Of a particularly poignant nature are the often confused and always starkly honest accounts by the Reverend Sister Chenoeh and the Reverend Mother Tertius Eileen Anteac, which relate their stays in the court of the God Emperor Leto II and their interactions with him and their conflicts with the orthodox dogmaticism of the Soothsayer Marcus Claire Luyseyal The disco\enes at Ddr-es.
