| ===Ancient texts===
| |
| *The ''Avoranloeδūs'' are the largest known collection of Thensarian texts, including prose epics, poetry, wisdom literature, riddles and puzzles. Most importantly: it states its own incompleteness!
| |
| *:''φess·θūdiāsor subanmanōȝi φarnoe φinnom ābotot δulaħnar oncat ħlibnar...''
| |
| *:"Let the Second Mover complete this book of laws and rites..."
| |
| *The ''Sondmorið Manuscripts'' ([[Eevo]]: /ˈsɔntmɔrið/) are a collection of [[Thensarian]]- and [[Tigol]]-language manuscripts found in the Sondmorið caves of Skella. Among other things, they give a mythological account of human nature and origins. Devotional poems are also included.

| Requirements for earliest texts:
| |
| *Some puzzles
| |
| *Should mention "1st Mover" (''subanmanōȝi ȝoθloe'') and "2nd Mover" (''subanmanōȝi φarnoe'')
| |
| *Some self-contradiction
| |
| *Fragmented rituals/laws but not too legalistic (there should NOT be a Torah!)
| |
| **handwashing that conveniently largely coincides with what germ theory prescribes (handwashing after contact with bodily fluids or dirt)

| |
| ===Classical texts===
| |
| *The ''Imthumăytil'' ([[Windermere]], meaning "investigations") is a [[Windermere/Classical|Classical Windermere]] text which depicts sages (Classical Windermere: ''impida'', the title may be translated as "Master") discussing and debating various ethical and philosophical topics, and attempting to find the "true meaning" and "correct practice" of previous Talman religious traditions. Most surviving copies are edited by later ''impida'' in various schools of interpretation. The ''Imthumăytil'' was traditionally required reading in Talman schools.

| *Muidhillechadh Gnaoth: a critical essay on the Sondmorið Manuscripts by [[Verse:Tricin/Etsoj Jopah|Etsoj Jopah]] (in Anbirese)
