A Book of Manic Devotions refers to one of many copies of a book for the indoctrination and daily recitation of chaos cults. There are various traditions of this book throughout the Pallathantic, including the Ambrinquan Book of Manic Devotions, Asbard Book of Manic Devotions, Corundian Book of Manic Devotions, Cospian Book of Manic Devotions, Erechórebese Book of Manic Devotions, Goscundian Book of Manic Devotions, Pytharnian Book of Manic Devotions, and the Shelekhumbite Book of Manic Devotions. The most coveted of all these is the fabled Medibgösk Book of Manic Devotions.

Common to all or most of these books is a portion known as the 'Lygdamionic Cantos' which express adoration for the god Lygdamion and presents secrets of chaos ecstasy for the initiate. For this reason, Lygdamionite warrior-monks are thought to be the principal authors of these texts.
