I think the line about Eöl is the most devastating to the theory of Thingol being one of the firstborn. I can't reconcile them at all, and thus I must say that Thingol was of the later generations.

An ampliation with an Appendix and other things
Hello everybody, what about you fellows?
Since my mother dies on 30th January (i hope she are with Morwen, she was Eledhwen too), I did not wrote here, but in February I received the last Parma Eldalamberon, and with the firs part of the Tengwesta, The Descent of Tonges, i made an Appendix new combining this with the text of the Essecenta and other language texts like the ancient Lammas and Of Dwarves and Men. And one thing brouth me to other and I introduced a change (minor in the context, but important). For me now re-reading the comments of CT, Eöl is not of the kin of Thingol. I think (correct me please) the last annotation of the professor is that Eöl was of the Teleri of the Hithaeglir, and the alussion that the relationship to Thingol would have point, could be a mere good relashionship of live in Nan Elmoth (represented by the gift of Anglachel). of course is an interpretation but for me the internal history is more coherent. What do you think? Greetings Last edited by gondowe; 06-13-2010 at 07:58 AM. |

Nice to hear you are still active, Gondowe.
Sorry that we can not say the same about our own project. Concerning the contents of your projected books: What I miss is a tale of the years of the first age. I know that we have that only for the last couple of years but I still think in your kind of project it should be included. Anyway, what I observed also is that you would try to bring both versions of the big tales: a short one in the body of the 'Quenta Silmarillion' and an extanded one in the collection of the 'Atanatarion'. Do you not fear that tahs might lead to a big deal of repeatition of one and the same text in all the places were the full versions of th ebig tales break off? Respectfuly Findegil |

Good to see both of you around! I'm very sorry to hear about your mother, Gondowe, and I wish you the best.
I'm hoping to have some time to devote to getting our project moving again in the near future (within the next month or so). If October rolls around and you haven't heard more from me, please pester me about it! |

Hello Findegil and Aiwendil
Nice to read you again, we are there till the end.
Thank you for about my mother, the battle against the cancer (send by Morgoth) was very hard. Findegil wrote. What I miss is a tale of the years of the first age. I know that we have that only for the last couple of years but I still think in your kind of project it should be included. Its included as the last Appendix of Volume one. E Yenonotie. The Tale of Years. About the other matter, really its a case of repeatition, but I shortened anyway lots of it, (its a real pity that you cannot read it for being in spanish, to compare). Anyway I feel fine with it, because its the most approached to the knowed final structure projects of the professor, if Tolkien wanted to repeat the story, amen ( evidently with other words). But we only have what we have. What do you think about the matter of Eol in the post above. Greetings |

Execuse me for answering so late, Gondowe!
I had to re-read a bit to make up my mind about Eöl an your question. For me the note: 'but the relationship to Thingol would have a point' is a kind of call back for the first sentence of the earlier note ('Eöl should not be ...'). It is hard to bring all different story into order in ones mind. For me stil the best solution Tolkien came up with the story of a Tatyarin Avari. Since there was intermarraging between the clans he still could be a kin fo Thingol (who by the way seems to be akin to nearly everyone). Eöl being of Tatyarin blood would also explain why the marriage between his son Maeglin and Idril was out of question, when in other places a relatiuonship between first-cousins is allowed if the unrelated parents are not akin at all. I am sure that, if ever we came to the story of Maeglin, Eöl will give us a hard nut to crack. That Eöl had a relation to Thingol simply by living in Nan Elmoth is a given, so that does not explain (for me at least) what Tolkien meant with 'but the relationship to Thingol would have a point'. That Thingol is of a born genaration and not one of the awoken 144 is asured by him having a 2 brethern. Therefore we would not need Eöl to make that clear. In the end it all will come down to close examination of the time when all these notes were written. I had no time to do that right now. So it has to wait for some other kind soul. Respectfully Findegil |

Hello, Findegil
This discussion can serve you for preparation when you arrive at the Tale of Aredhel and Eöl and Maeglin. Quote:

By the way, I have revised another point of divergence between yours and my text, mentioned in another post and want to share with you. That of the mention of a Third elder son of Orodreth. I stiil think he can be suitable for the story (better with other name suggested by Tolkien), but I had named him Haldir as the later form Tolkien adopted, and I had not repared (inexplicably) in the elf of Lorien in TLotR, so I changed it by Halmir, the earlier name.
So the only repeated elven name would be the "imposible to change" Rumil. Greetings |

What about Galdor and Legolas? Or are they out of your version of the Fall of Gondolin? Or are you onmy side, when I argue that both of them could be the same person in Gondolin and Imladris?
What bothers me about Halmir/Haldir son of Orodreth is that in part at least the leader of Brethil with a very similar name took ofer the part in the story that this son of Orodreth has. => Slain by Orks when barring the way to Nargothrond at a similar time. Okay the death of a Man would not embitter Orodreth that much even so he might have been a close ally, which is unlikley considering the policy of secrecy. But still it seems to be to much repetition. And it is again a repetition when Finduilas the daughter is slain a similar cruel way by the orks later on in the story. About Eöl: Yes the discussion will be helpful for sure. I agree that it is dificult to stick to idea of Eöl being of Tatyarin origin. But as said already he proberbly has a mixed origin with a strong Tatyarin-Avari strain. But here again it is the information combiner that speaks. And that side of myself the one that must restriced by others in our project to secure some succes at all. Respectfuly Findegil |

In the case of Legolas/Galdor, at the beggining of this thread I said that had been replaced Legolas by Galdor in the Fall of Gondolin, because I think Legonas must not be the same as in TLotR but Galdor can be the same, as Glorfindel.
In the matter of the repetition, I agree with you that a man and an elf with the same name in the same period is a bit shocking, but we have not other name from Tolkien himself. In other way it could be rare that an elf take a name of a man (like Haldir of Lothlorien), I think in every case is inversely. A similar dead of Finduilas and Halmir as brothers, I think can even reinforce the narrative. Greetings Last edited by gondowe; 09-30-2010 at 03:19 PM. |

Hello again fellows, a days ago I have updated in the post above the structure of chapters in the Vols 1 and 2 of my version. Apart of other minor changes, the major was the inclusion of the story of Eärendil in the last tale of the Atanatarion.
I decided to do it because follow your version I did take the decision of include verse material, that makes an elongation of the text. To the fragment of the lay of Eärendel (that I located at Nan-tathren ) and the Horns of Ylmir, after; and at the mention of the Sleeper of the Tower of Pearl, I added The happy mariners. And in the end when Eärendil is raised, I finished the Atanatarion with first The bidding of the minstrel, then Eala Eärendel engla beorthast, and last with The shores of Fäery. In my concept of a book for the QS, (a resume of the tales), and another for the Atanatarion, the story must end with the Raising of the Star, and the Great end of the First age, must belong only to the QS. If you think seeing my concept, what do you think? Greetings |

Nice to read from you again Gondowe!
'The happy Mariners' did not make it into our version, because we thought that the tale told in it must come from a later age. Look at this thread for the discussion we had about that poem. Especially my post 91, were I confinced myself that the happy mariniers are Teleri-Elves sailing from Eldamar to the east to fill their ship with 'oriental sparks' and encounter the lonely singer in the tower of pearl when they are on their way back to Eldamar.

Hello Findegil, ok, first of all, in my opinion, its only a song , not necessarily "canonically real or perfect".
But apart for the "inexplicably" mention of Gondobar, I don't see anything that gives me the impression that they go to the east. They go to the land of the Two Trees, and the orient fire is of the sun from the east in the rear of the ship. (Of course is an oppinion, a mode of see, of understand the song). Of course we can omit the verse of Gondobar, but for example, a very nice option for me, is that we can change Gondobar for Eressëa, that is the place in what I always think when read the allusion of Gondobar. But these changes are easier for me that the texts in Spanish have not rhyme. Could you combine the older and the last versions of the poem? ....Thus they escaped their enchantment. I know a window in a Western tower ...... beyond the country of the shining Trees. For at last Eärendil and his companions came into the Shadowy Seas and passed their shadows.....

Again, with the addition of a Prologue written by me (in what I cited and gave thanks to this forum), I have updated the chapter structure of the whole work. Previously I had included in a part of general notes, every text I had edited apart, like the texts of the Unfinished Tales, and things like those. Now I have to said that with this three volumes and The Hobbit and TLOTR, the very whole, whole "historical" material written by Tolkien, is included in a continuum of five books. Now it only rests future modifications derived from discussions of this forum, and future publications of new material.

Hello fellows again, I have been father for second time on October 27th, and I have been very busy. With two childes at home, we have no time to be bored. And it will be for time, but I´ll try to collaborate in the measure I could.
For the moment in the few times I had and could, I finished (naturally for the moment) the whole project of the Red Book, adapting the texts of the Hobbit and TLOTR, in one volume (changing the three first chapters of the first one for those written in the 60s and rejected (published in The History of the Hobbit)), and elaborate a "fifth volume with the hobbit material from the Appendix of TLOTR, with the poems in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil. With that I have a sort of "Compilation from the copy of Findegil of Gondor of the Thain´s Book". Greetings |

Hey, why don't you post this in the **unofficial Silmarillion outline** - I think it would be very helpful for the project - and it needs discussion. Greetings, Arvegil145 (though I want to change my name)

Because is written in this thread and here can be watched and it was posted years ago. This is my project and my chapter structure, not of this forum, in this forum, from many more years ago, had another chapter structure, but at last the composing of the texts is what matters and have the same "historical" information. That is what we have to discuss first.

Well, I say that because I think your outline is excellent, and I'm saying that it should be included in the thread about the outline because, with some polishing it could be the DEFINITIVE outline!

Where did you find those chapters? Or did you make it up? I have also found a need to insert sub-chapters into "Tuor" - after all the story is 35,000 words long, and it looks ridiculous to have such a substantial chapter with no headings at all.

Ah, gondowe, nice to read from you again!
Of course your chapter structure generates some questions: What is the Content of '-Of the Orkor in your Silmarillion? How did avoid simple repeation of text passages when you include both, the short chapters in the Silamrillion and the end of the Atanatarion which foresure is constructed from the same material? Should not 'Of the Dwarves and their relations with Men' come earlier? I think that what is in there is from Of Dwraves and Men. If so it refers to the time before the Fall of Eregion. But then it tells so at the end, so yes, probably structur works best in that way. Posted by Arvegil145: Quote:
Respectfuly Findegil P.S.: Arvegil145 please restirct your quoting to what is necessary as a reference to what you to comment on. Nobody will read through gondowe's structure a second time only because you reposted it. |

Here I am again. Fastly, with little time.
Well it'd must be discussed when you can reach the point, but basically is a mixture of the QS/Annals/MT texts showing the typical "Some said that.... but others said that" Quote:
"Findegil wrote. What I miss is a tale of the years of the first age. I know that we have that only for the last couple of years but I still think in your kind of project it should be included. Its included as the last Appendix of Volume one. E Yenonotie. The Tale of Years. About the other matter, really its a case of repeatition, but I shortened anyway lots of it, (its a real pity that you cannot read it for being in spanish, to compare). Anyway I feel fine with it, because its the most approached to the knowed final structure projects of the professor, if Tolkien wanted to repeat the story, amen ( evidently with other words). But we only have what we have." Quote:
Arvegil145 I named Prologue to the text from the beginning of TCoH till is said Turin had 5 years. I though it was a "common history" to both "House of Hador Texts" As for the chapter structure of Tuor, yes, they were more or less invented, but was discussed in this thread near the beginning.

First of all sorry for bring this thread again to the first place. I only want to explain some of my thoughts about the project in my version.
That’s derived from the recent commentaries about the inclusion of philological texts into the narrative. In my opinion there is enough philological material to make one great volume or several. And I don’t think this must be the proposal of this project, for me is clear what I want, and this will not be my work. It is necessary to include all material explaining the origin of the languages and its relations, historical texts; and insert into the narrative those paragraphs and sentences that provides historical, descriptive, etc information if is inserted much material including philological roots, stems, etc in my opinion don’t work, and it would have to be added such works like: Rivers and beacon hills, notes on Óre, Eldarin fingers, hands and numerals, the whole etimologies with its addendas, the whole text of WPaP, The lexicons, Ros, whole Shibboleth, whole Q&E, whole Descending of tongues, qenya and noldorin verb and noun structures, alphabets, etc, etc, etc all published in PE and VT. Well, I resolve some things by adding some information in the guide of names that I constructed and finally inserted in my volume 0, but this guide is out of the narrative, and if I think in my own preferences I only want to read a story, and the linguistic part left to the professionals that is what was the professor. If I want to see linguistic information I go to the sources. I have a pity that from the beginning, much time before I discovered this page, even much time before this page was created, I started my project in spanish and without the source notes marks (I was much less professional than you), and it's too late for me to retranslate and give the source marks that in many places I don't remember from where were. I work now only by memory because I have my books printed many years ago, and only from time to time I reprint them with accumulated minor changes in many cases better retranslations. And that’s what I want, reprint again and hope for the last time, and enjoy with the work, because I’m growing old and have a severe eye illness. This project is endless, because there are for sure much more material unpublished, and of course the work in this page will make me do minor changes. Lastly I want to include in this post the structure updated with the addition of my edited Ambarcanta that in its time didn’t want to include mostly because of lacking of original and useful professor maps (unless it be used maps from other sources like, say, Mrs. Fonstad). But now I changed my mind and decided include it. Volume 0 Introduction to the Texts of the Histories of Arda (Prologues, notes and guides of names) Note preliminary to this edition (from me) Preface of the author to his First Edition of TFotLotR Preface of the author (Tolkien) to his Second Edition of The Fall of the Lord of the Rings Prologue of the Editor (me) to the Three volumes of TFtE Note of the author on pronunciation Note of the author on Writing and spelling Note of the author on the Shire Records Note of the editor (me) based on texts of the translator (Tolkien) on the origin and source of the texts of the TftE Note of the author on translation to modern language Nomenclature of TLotR General Guide of Names Volume 1 The Fall of the Lord of the Rings and the Return of the King (the text of There and Back Again updated with the three rewritten chapters in the 60’s, together with the text of TLotR, the pure story including the Epilogue) Volume 2 Translations from the Elvish Silmarillion Ainulindale.

Gondowe this project is immense and inedible and a real inspiration! This outline is incredible, and is actually closer to what I had in mind in my younger years. I may very well attempt a similar thing at some later date. This is also an excellent outline, and you should be immensely proud of what you've accomplished!!

Thank you Arcuscalion. In my humble opinion this is the most closer concept the professor would think in a later time, at least according to the structure showed in the beggining of TLotR of the Thains book.
As I said before in other place, I like very much the Aelfwine trassmision but unfortunately, the hobbits are the official published way, and so, this structure of texts. We have the material we have (till now) and we must work with it. But at the end, the "historical" subcreational information is the same in whatever structure. Greetings |

After reading The Fall of Gondolin (new publication), I decided to retitle one of my invented subchapters and grouping the subchapters 3 and 4 into only one entitled "Tour in Vinyamar" (as CT call in this new book)
Not important for you, I know, but I wanted to share the update in my text. Greetings |

Hello. Hello. How's it going everyone. I am sorry that I have not been able to participate in anything these years. Although I see that there was not much activity anyway.
I am writing this to say that I am already in the process of reading the new TNoME book. And that I am willing to discuss the implications it may have on the TftE. I guess you guys are reading it too. At the moment the first impression about the Time and Aging part is that it is very difficult to implement it in the chronology except for parts of the beginning. Of course I have to mature it more but I see it very difficult. Yes, there are phrases and paragraphs that can be inserted into the text. Last edited by gondowe; 09-11-2021 at 03:38 PM. |

I have begun the final third of the book, and already I think we can resolve the questions around dating and the length of the Valian Year, as well as new material to discuss about the awakening of Men and its place on the timeline. We also have some substantial new works, most of which will tie into Volume 3 of our project, especially in my (not yet posted) draft for The Laws and Customs of the Eldar. We can also discuss implications once more of the round world/flat world change, and the age of the Sun and Moon, although I suspect that we will stick with the original flat world/mythical sun and moon version. It's an exciting time for Tolkien fans, and this project in particular!

Hi there. I already finished reading it days ago and it is clear that from parts II and III there is a lot of material that can be inserted in addition to what is already known.
But my main problem is how to handle the new chronology and make it consistent with the text. To begin with, it is clear that Tolkien always thought and wanted the three ambassadors to be First Born. But in the new concept he realized that it did not work and that is why he created the Cuivienyarna. So in principle I am tempted to incorporate the alternative version that the ambassadors were I, T and E with I, F and E. That way one could keep the descriptions of the Awakening that Manwë is told in the LT (something desirable). And then this is if it is better to set the awakening at VY850 or 1000 or 1050. Then in my opinion I believe that the Flat World should be maintained and the Awakening of Men with the first sunrise. Other things to consider modifying would be the date of birth of Galadriel, Maeglin, ... Finduilas and Gilgalad (but Orodreth !!!!). Greetings |

I want only to update the estructure of my proposed Thain's Book. That was enlarged considerably after the NoME and CtH and The Cronology of TLotR. I know is not according with this project but for f is of some interest. I don't want to extend my comment on the narrative because is so difficult but the "new" Appendices contains all the (in my oppinion) worthy text useful.
