What a neat question.  I suppose the Hanad@, the speakers of Asiteya, have
about the level of technology of the Roman empire, maybe slightly less.
They use drainage and sewage systems, even in very rural areas.  As to their
holy book, I've alluded to a collection of hymns called the Isidikaled@,
"the sounds like music," and even wrote one, number 15. None of them have
titles, just numbers in the tradational ordering.  I suppose there is also a
book of sacred stories or histories, and a manual of advice for priests, but
these don't have quite the same status as the hymns.
