The Essays of Willim of Maneches

The Essays of Willim of Maneches is a popular book of philosophy written in ancient times before the New Era. Rand saw a copy of the book located in the library of the Queen's Blessing inn in Caemlyn. Egwene and Elayne located a second copy within the home of Mother Guenna, a Wise Woman living in Tear. Elayne spent some time reading it while staying in her home. Loial also owns a copy of the book in his collection.
Willim's works influenced a number of later writers, including the Saldaean philosopher Shivena Kayenzi who claimed that all reality was an illusion. Lectures on his essays are taught to Novices and Accepted while they matriculate in the White Tower. When Moiraine Damodred was an Accepted, she was once questioned by Meilyn Arganya regarding Willim's influence over Shivena.
