"Enchiridion Valentia" is a play on words, with "valentia" having two meanings. Valences were already a metaphor for planes of existence, while "Enchiridion Valentia" is Latin for "manual [as in "book"] power." The genitive form "Enchiridion Valentiae" would mean "book of power" or strength. Valentia is the etymological root of the English word "valence", while enchiridion ultimately comes from Greek. Valence as a metaphor for a plane layer in a shell model was originally an ''ad hoc'' notion in the [[cosmology]]. There are numerous Latin and Greek words or roots throughout the [[History of the Faendryl]] document.

Valences are a metaphor for planes of existence, while "Enchiridion Valentia" is Latin for "manual [as in "book"] power." (Note: the title does not mean "manual OF power," as that would required "valentia" to be in the genitive form [which would mean "of power"] and that would have been written as "Enchiridion Valentiae.") The use of "enchiridion" in the title is ironic. The word means "small handbook", but the Enchiridion Valentia is a vast archive, compiled over millennia.

	However, the ''Enchiridion Valentia'' project did not gain momentum until the decree by the twentieth [[Patriarch]], [[Eidiol Jivanatha\|Eidiol Jivanatha Faendryl]], that all further research on demon summoning be deposited with the project. In essence, Patriarch Eidiol Jivanatha had decreed the ''Enchiridion Valentia'' as the core repository of all Faendryl knowledge on demon summoning. Furthermore, the decree contained the requirement that all valence traveling summoners must first consult the ''Enchiridion Valentia'' before departing, and submit a full report upon returning from their particular valence. After a number of centuries, this requirement was dropped, as the prestige of contributing to the repository grew to a high honor.

	The ''Enchiridion Valentia'' ~~was~~ composed of a repository and of a single volume. The repository was overseen by three scholars, known as "Scholar of the Valences," and were appointed by the Patriarch for lifetime seats. The scholars were placed in charge of taxonomy and organization of all knowledge and discoveries. A secondary purpose of the repository was the production of copies of the knowledge, which were then placed in secret locations as a security matter. The scholars were also placed in charge of printing bound copies of the information, which often was established centuries before without change.
