The 8 sacred texts personally authored by Mani, and claimed by Him in the Kephalaia, are: Great Gospel; Treasure of the Life; The Treatise; The One of the Mysteries; The Writing; Epistles; Psalms; and Prayers. The Kephalaia is the most complete text that has survived.

• Great Gospel, probably The Living Gospel ("His Great Gospel, the good tidings of all them that are of the Light. - Mani Bema Psalm) The Living Gospel was written and illustrated in a Turkmenistan cave containing a spring, near Bukhara, Uzbekistan where Mani lived for a year (c244 A.D.) paintings its walls, writing his Living Gospel and illustrating his Ardahang. This 22 chapter book dealt with the story of Yeshu (Jesus). Fragments were found at Medinet Madi.
• Treasure of the Life (Book of Vivification) fate of Catechumens and a detailed account of the myth of man("His water-pot is the Thesaurus, the treasure of life. In it there is hot water: there is some cold water also mixed with it. - Mani Bema Psalm) There was also a summary called the "Little Treasury"."The Treasure of Life dealt with, among other subjects, the condition of the dwellers in the Realm of Light, the so-called "Seduction of the Archons." This work consisted of seven books and dealt with anthropology, psychology and a detailed interpretation of man as microcosm."
• The Treatise, The Pragmateia; ("His soft sponge that wipes away bruises is the Pragmateia. - Mani Bema Psalm) This was the Rule-Book of the Manichaean Community.  This book is said to have contained the "commandments" and rules for entering into religion, precepts for the "Elect" governing clothing, diet, fasts, rituals, the liturgy of hymns and psalms to be sung at home and in the churches. "
• The One of the Mysteries, or Book of Mysteries ("His knife for cutting is the Book of the Mysteries. - Mani Bema Psalm) "The Book of Mysteries in eighteen chapters was written to refute the false doctrines of the established sects and creeds in the world, including the sect of Bardesain or Bardesan. The book evidently dealt with the esoteric life of Jesus. The nature of Soul and Body was defined, and this work clearly taught reincarnation. A portion of the book was in the form of a dialogue between Jesus and his apostles."
• The Writing, or (The Book of Giants;("His excellent swabs are the Book of the Giants. - Mani Bema Psalm)?)
• Book of Giants - (Summary of a lecture by J. R. Davila on 1 March 2002)
• 76 Epistles ("The [...] of every cure is the Book of Letters. - Mani Bema Psalm)
• From "The Fundamental Epistle"
• Psalms  ("hot, the two psalms, the lamentations" - Manichaean Bema Psalm)
• Prayers ("cool also, his Prayers and all his Logia." - Manichaean Bema Psalm)

In addition, other texts by Mani or his immediate disciples are known:

• Shahburagan, a summary of the teachings which Mani wrote for the King Shapur I. (This book is often listed in the place usually occupied by the Book of Giants by some ancient authors) "Shapurakan", I.e. "Princely", because it was dedicated to Peroz, the brother of Sapor I (written in Syrian). It was a kind of Manichæan eschatology, dealing in three chapters with the dissolution of Hearers, Elect, and Sinners. It was written about A.D. 242.
