Book of Cyber-Kells
From Transformers Wiki
The Book of Cyber-Kells is an ancient book written during the Dark Ages. It contains the secrets brought to Earth by the Guardian Knights, including the revelation that Earth is actually Unicron and is destined to clash with Cybertron in a battle against the sorceress Quintessa.
In the modern time, the book is stored at the Trinity Library in Dublin, Ireland and is mostly disregarded as just a collection of myths and legends.
Fiction
The Last Knight film
Trying to help Edmund Burton to solve the mystery of why the Transformers keep coming to Earth (but mainly to impress him enough to be admitted into the Order of the Witwiccans), ex-Sector Seven agent Seymour Simmons discovered the location of the Book of Cyber-Kells through his contact with a janitor at the Trinity Library, passing the information along to Burton via a phone call. Once there, Burton found the book and ripped out the page containing the truth about Earth being Unicron, quickly leaving the Library before the TRF was able to catch him. The Last Knight
