I'm just curious about this because it's something that would actually take a lot of time to compose or translate and would require you have a lot of persistance and dedication to such project.

We already have an example on this subforum, but are there any other attempts to have a whole holy book written or translated in your 'lang?

I wrote a few passages of the Lorošae holy book Inestel Manace, which contains chants, and I'm in the process of writing an epic poem for the Jenns.

Again, could we see some examples? The chants sound very intriguing, I like chanting in other languages.

I haven't yet decided whether Adpihi ought to have a Holy Book. I've got reasons for thinking "yes" and others for thinking "no".
Adpihi religion is both fragmented and cohesive; everyone thinks they have the same religion: But there are differences, (not so great as to make them think otherwise), and there are so many possible ways to differ that most people have at most a few other people that agree with them on "everything".

I think Reptigan ought to have a constitution, which should at the same time be an "organic treaty", that is, a treaty which is fundamental and foundational for Adpihi, in the same sense that a constitution is an "organic law". And it should deal -- sparingly and limitedly, but still -- with religion; specifically it should say that no one can have a religious duty to "oppress" other religions.

I haven't written any of that yet, not even in English.

Can constitutions count as Holy Books? The American one seems to.
I don't really intend to ever write a holy book, but I do intend to write a constitution.
