It was compiled in the 1670s as a collection of poems in the tradition of [[Later Polynesian Philosophy]]. It consists of 12,800 poems, hymns and epigraphs in dedication to philosophical concepts such as "mystery's end", Ecydsis and Imago, charitable retrogression and a love of nature. The number was developed from the [[Loa Luni-Ecdysial Calendar|Loa calendar]], which is centered around a solar eclipse every 800 years. It is believed a solar year consists of 16 of these eclipse, which is 12,800 calendrical years. This focus on eclipse represents the focus on the moon as being the source of natural law and the driving force of life and causality. As such, when the Polynesians and Loa realized the eclipse was the moon overtaking the sun, through charting the moon's path through the cosmos, they took it as a sign of great fortune. Although it was compiled a few decades after the calendar's creation, it was derived from a vast literary tradition, with many poems dating back centuries. It is divided into 800 books, a division of 12,800 by 16. | ||
