'''''A Gateway to Sindarin: A Grammar of an Elvish Language from J.R.R. Tolkien's''''' '''Lord of the Rings''' is a 2004 book by linguist [[David Salo]]. It reproduces all extant [[Sindarin]] fragments from published sources - both the easily available ones and the more obscure ones from linguistic journals such as ''[[Vinyar Tengwar]]'' and ''[[Parma Eldalamberon]]''. It follows other linguistic books like [[Ruth S. Noel]]'s ''[[The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-earth]]'' and [[Jim Allan]]'s ''[[An Introduction to Elvish]]'', although the book's initial popularity was largely due to Salo's involvement in [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (film series)]].

==From the publisher==
{{blockquote| From the 1910s to the 1970s, author and linguist [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] worked at creating plausibly realistic languages to be used by the creatures and characters in his novels. Like his other languages, Sindarin was a new invention, not based on any existing or artificial language. By the time of his death, he had established fairly complete descriptions of two languages, the "elvish" tongues called [[Quenya]] and [[Sindarin]]. He was able to compose poetic and prose texts in both, and he also constructed a lengthy sequence of changes for both from an ancestral "proto-language," comparable to the development of historical languages and capable of analysis with the techniques of historical linguistics.

In ''A Gateway to Sindarin'', David Salo has created a volume that is a serious look at an entertaining topic. Salo covers the grammar, morphology, and history of the language. Supplemental material includes a vocabulary, Sindarin names, a glossary of terms, and an annotated list of works relevant to Sindarin. What emerges is homage to Tolkien's scholarly philological efforts.}}

==Cover design==
The cover features a gateway, styled like the [[Doors of Durin]]. On the bow, Tengwar in [[Tengwar|Beleriandic mode]] read "Annon na Edhellen", which is a Neo-Sindarin translation of the book's title. On the bottom, an altered version of [[Heraldry#Elves|Elu Thingol's heraldic device]] is shown.

==Critical reception==
When released, [[Thorsten Renk]] described ''A Gateway to Sindarin'' as "''currently the best English book available on Sindarin''". However, he also noted that the work on the one hand might be inaccessible to learners of Sindarin (since Salo uses a very technical language), and on the other hand not very usable by linguists (because of Salo's "''lack of distinction between Tolkien-made and Salo-made historic forms'')".<ref>{{webcite|author=[[Thorsten Renk]]|articleurl=http://www.science-and-fiction.org/elvish/salo_discussion.html|articlename=David Salo: ''A Gateway to Sindarin''|dated=|website=[http://www.science-and-fiction.org/elvish/index.html Parma Tyelpelassiva]|accessed=29 July 2020}}</ref>

There has been some criticism that the language described is not Sindarin, but an arbitrary fabrication of "[[Neo-Elvish|Neo-Sindarin]]". (see [[#Reviews by other linguists|reviews]])

'''''The Old English Exodus''''' is a book collecting [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s text and prose translation of the [[Old English]] poem ''[[wikipedia:Exodus (poem)|Exodus]]'', accompanied by a commentary which was organized from a series of Tolkien's lecture notes from the 1930-40s. The published edition was edited by [[wikipedia:Joan Turville-Petre|Joan Turville-Petre]], a former pupil of Tolkien's.

''Exodus'' does not refer to the second book of the Bible, but an Old English retelling in the form of an alliterative poem; it contains 590 lines. It re-tells the story of the Israelites' flight from Egyptian captivity and the Crossing of the Red Sea in the manner of a "heroic epic", similar in style to ''[[wikipedia:Beowulf|Beowulf]]''.

The book was published in [[1982]] (though dated 1981),<ref>[[Wayne G. Hammond]], [[Douglas A. Anderson]] (1993), ''[[J.R.R. Tolkien: A Descriptive Bibliography]]'': B35</ref> with only 3000 copies printed.

* Select Bibliography

* '''Text'''

* '''Commentary'''

* Index to Commentary

==New edition==
Having been out of print for more that 40 years, this book is now brought back into publication by [[HarperCollins]] in [[2026]], as part of a boxed set titled ''[[Christopher Tolkien Centenary Boxed Sets|Myths and Legends]]''. The box set was released on [[May 21]], 2026 in the UK, and will be released in August in the US. As of now, ''The Old English Exodus'' is not available as a standalone volume.

The text has been reset in this new edition, with the addition of a preface written by Thorlac Turville-Petre, the son of the original editor.

==From the publisher==
{{blockquote|J.R.R. Tolkien's The Old English Exodus comes from detailed lecture notes created for advanced student at Oxford between the 1930s and 1950s. While he never meant to publish a formal edition, Tolkien carefully created his own version of the Old English text to use in teaching. His goal was to interpret the poem, reconstruct what the original might have looked like, and demonstrate how it fits into the broader tradition of Old English poetry.

Tolkien's teaching style was notoriously difficult to follow and his lectures famously challenging, but he could also connect ideas in brilliant flashes revealing his intellectual processes as he navigated complex material.

Many of the problems and confusions Tolkien tackled in The Old English Exodus have either been solved or changed form. Nevertheless, his scholarship still holds up well. Editing the professor's lecture notes, Joan Turville-Petre decided to include selected excerpts in order to better showcase Tolkien's teaching abilities and highlight the insights that remain most relevant today. This approach gives readers the best sense of Tolkien's methods and his most important contributions to understanding this ancient poem.

First published in 1981, this edition brings Tolkien's work back into publication with a new preface by the editor's son, Thorlac Turville-Petre, situating Joan's commentary within the context of its initial publication.}}

==Biography==
Miriam Ellis began drawing in early childhood and started painting in her teens. She describes herself as self‑taught, encouraged by her mother who is also a painter. She was introduced to Tolkien by her father who read ''The Hobbit'' to her as a bedtime story. She began painting scenes from Tolkien’s legendarium in 2023, at the age of 50.<ref name=":0">“At Home in the Shire: An Interview with Miriam Ellis,” ''Amon Hen'' 318 (2026), pp. 8–11.</ref>

=='''Artistic style and influences'''==
Ellis describes her painting style as rooted in traditional fine art, citing John Singer Sargent and Johannes Vermeer among her primary influences. She also acknowledges the impact of Tolkien artists [[Ted Nasmith]] and [[Matěj Čadil]], praising Nasmith’s “sweeping qualities” and Čadil’s “folkloric charms” and shared commitment to accuracy. Her approach emphasizes realism, textual fidelity, and Tolkien’s theological and philosophical themes, particularly the “inner consistency of reality.” She aims to depict scenes as if the viewer is physically present within Middle‑earth.<ref name=":0" />

'''Ted Nasmith''' is a Canadian artist, illustrator, and musician most known for illustrating many works by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]].
==Early life==
In his childhood and teens, Nasmith was introduced to ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' by his sister and was absorbed. In [[1972]] he mailed to Tolkien photographs of his work. Tolkien replied with praise, but also with criticism, saying that his rendition of Bilbo in the painting ''[https://www.tednasmith.com/tolkien/the-unexpected-party/ The Unexpected Party]'' was "too childlike".<ref>{{webcite|author=Anders Dahlgren (aka "Elrond")|articleurl=https://www.radiorivendell.com/article/2012/04/25/ted-nasmith/|articlename=Radio Rivendell interviews Ted Nasmith

==Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings==
Many fans of Ted Nasmith have expressed disappointment in his lack of involvement in [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (film series)]].
{{quote|I was contacted by a producer in early '99. They invited me to be there with the others in New Zealand to help with conceptual art, and made me a nice offer. However, I was going through a personal crisis unrelated to my art, and in the end, being that it would also force me to abandon my freelance obligations and be away indefinitely, I reluctantly declined, settling the question in my mind after very careful deliberation. It was a difficult decision.|Ted Nasmith <ref>{{redlink|[http://www.dreamish.com/artist/tednasmith.shtml]}}</ref>}}

One fan has created a website known as [http://tednasmith.narod.ru Ted Nasmith: The Uncredited Lord of the Rings Films Concept Artist]. The website displays side-by-side illustrations by Nasmith with later scenes in The Lord of the Rings films. [[Peter Jackson]] was inspired by Nasmith - as [[Alan Lee]] described:
{{quote|"[T]here were certain pictures of Ted's that Peter quite liked. He actually bought one of Nasmith's originals --- a very striking picture of Mordor"|Alan Lee <ref>{{redlink|[http://einsiders.com/features/interviews/alanlee.php]}}</ref>}}

Legendarium

2026-06-01T14:17:32Z

MallornTea:

{{rewrite}}
{{quote|For not we but those who come after will make the legends of our time. The [[kemen|green earth]], say you? That is a mighty matter of legend, though you tread it under the light of day!|[[Aragorn]] in ''[[The Two Towers]]'', "[[The Riders of Rohan]]"}}
[[File:Donato Giancola - J.R.R.Tolkien Portrait.jpg|thumb|250px|''J.R.R.Tolkien'' by [[Donato Giancola]]]]
The '''''legendarium''''' is the entirety of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s works concerning his imagined world of [[Arda]].

Tolkien himself used the term,<ref>{{HM|L}}, pp. 149, 189, 197, 214</ref> and also referred to his "'''mythology'''" in the same sense.<ref>{{HM|L}}, pp. 26, 131, 231, 307</ref><ref>{{PE|17}}, p. 135</ref><ref>{{PE|16}}, pp. 88, 92</ref> Expecting publication for ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', and hoping that "The Silmarillion" would be published together, Tolkien envisioned his work (possibly including ''[[The Hobbit]]'') as the "'''[[Golden Book|Saga]] of the [[Silmarils|Three Jewels]] and the [[Rings of Power]]'''".<ref>{{L|125}}, p. 138</ref>

The term of ''legendarium'' is not the same as "[[canon]]". The legendarium includes all Tolkien's corpus in its entirety, even mutually contradicting versions, both earlier and later stages of its conception.

==Published works==
===Writings of the legendarium===
Here follows a list of all published texts by Tolkien relating to [[Arda]]. For a discussion of the "canonical" status of the texts, consult the page ''[[Canon]]''.

It covers Tolkien's travels to [[J.R.R. Tolkien#Youth|Switzerland in 1911]] and France in [[1913]].

==From the publisher==
{{blockquote| La faceta literaria de J.R.R. Tolkien es bien conocida pues se trata de uno de los autores contemporáneos más aclamados. La búsqueda de sus fuentes e inspiraciones se ha centrado en sus afinidades literarias y estéticas, aunque sus vivencias personales, especialmente durante su periodo formativo, permiten conocer otra faceta de Tolkien y entender la raíz de alguna de estas afinidades.
Buena parte de estas vivencias serán reconstruidas en esta obra que, de algún modo, viene a ser un libro de viajes en múltiples sentidos. Ante todo, encontraremos una guía detallada de las peripecias que el joven Tolkien vivió mientras recorría ciertos paisajes, tanto en su patria como especialmente en el extranjero, que sin duda le inspiraron sus fantásticos escenarios. De forma especialmente detallada recorreremos con él las montañas alpinas que tanto añoró y le acompañaremos en el caótico viaje a Francia que puede ser considerado como su primer trabajo.
Pero esta obra también es un viaje en el tiempo, a otra época y otro mundo, que nos permite entender la evolución del propio Tolkien, desde su ingenuidad juvenil hacia la madurez adquirida de forma descarnada mientras era testigo directo del devenir del turbulento siglo XX.<ref group="note" >''J.R.R. Tolkien's literary side is well known, since he is one of the most acclaimed contemporary authors. The search for his sources and inspirations has centered around his literary and aesthetic affinities, although his personal experiences (mainly during his formative years) allow us to know another side to Tolkien and understand the root of some of these affinities. 

''A great part of these expereinces will be reconstructed in this work, that in many ways is also a travel book. We will find a detailed guide of Tolkien's adventures as he travelled certain landscapes (in his home country but more so abroad) that undoubtedly inspired his fantastic scenarios. We will cover with special detail the alpine mountains he yearned so much for, and will accompany him on the chaotic journey to France that could be considered his first job.'' 

''But this work is also a journey through time, to another epoch and another world that allows us to understand the evolution of Tolkien himself, from his youth naïvité to the maturity he acquired by witnessing the turbulent 20th century.'' (Translation by [[User:MallornTea]]) </ref> }}

==From the publisher==
{{blockquote| Despite his discreet personality, private “vices”, and literary idiosyncrasies, Tolkien was in fact a deeply collaborative figure, both as a scholar and, above all, as a writer. This volume is dedicated to one of his earliest and most significant creative and personal collaborations, his friendship with G.B. Smith: an alumnus of Corpus Christi College, Tolkien’s school friend and fellow member of the TCBS, and indeed his closest companion during university years.A gifted poet, Smith published only one collection, A Spring Harvest, edited posthumously by Tolkien after Smith’s death in the trenches of the Somme – another lost voice among the First World War poets. The volume explores this relationship from biographical, literary, and philosophical perspectives, focusing on the content and style of Smith’s poetry, Tolkien’s editorial work, their shared intellectual world, and the lasting influence of Smith on Tolkien’s imagination. In doing so, it also seeks to give Smith his due, recognising A Spring Harvest not only as the premature culmination of his talent, but also as a body of work carried forward and fulfilled in the enduring legacy of his friend, J.R.R. Tolkien.}}

'''Roger Garland''' was an English artist, teacher and [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] illustrator.

==History==
[[File:Roger Garland - The Lord of the Nazgul.JPG|300px|thumb|right|''The Lord of the Nazgûl'' by '''Roger Garland''']]
Roger Garland attended [[wikipedia:Arts University Plimouth|Plymouth Art School]] and studied graphic design at the [[wikipedia: University of Wolverhampton|University of Wolverhampton]], where he met his wife [[Linda Garland]].<ref name="gallery">[http://www.lakeside-gallery.com/ lakesidegallery.com](accessed 19 April 2023)</ref> Both graduated in [[1970]].<ref name="gallery" /><ref>[https://web.facebook.com/roger.garland.3 Roger Garland] on Facebook (accessed 20 April 2023)</ref> Their son Seth Garland (born [[1977]]) is also an artist.<ref>[http://www.sethgarland.co.uk/#about sethgarland.com] (accessed 16 May 2023)</ref> After graduating, Garland taught art at the [[wikipedia: Poltair School|Poltair School]] in [[wikipedia: Cornwall|Cornwall]] for a decade, while also building a career as an illustrator.<ref name="gallery" /> His first collaboration with [[George Allen & Unwin]] was in [[1981]],<ref name="gallery" /> when he was hired to paint a cover for the paperback release of [[Unfinished Tales]]. In 1989, he co-founded Lakeside Gallery with his wife, which permanently displays their artwork, including Roger's Tolkien-related paintings, to this day.<ref name="gallery" /> Some of these paintings were part of the italian exhibition [[TOLKIEN - Uomo, Professore, Autore| ''Tolkien: Uomo, Professore, Autore'']], that toured between 2023 and 2026. In his opinion, ''[[:File:Roger Garland - The Lord of the Nazgul.JPG| The Lord of the Nazgûl]]'' is his best painting, because it "''captures the darker side of these works''".<ref>[https://www.sociedadtolkien.org/blog/2017/10/26/fallece-el-ilustrador-roger-garland/?highlight=roger%20garland Fallece el ilustrador Roger Garland] at sociedadtolkien.org (quote translated back from Spanish, original not found)(accessed 19 April 2023)</ref> He was also an honorary member of [[The Tolkien Society]] since [[1994]].<ref>[https://www.tolkiensociety.org/2017/10/tolkien-illustrator-roger-garland-has-died/ Tolkien illustrator Roger Garland has died] at tolkiensociety.org (accessed 19 April 2023)</ref>

The Old English Exodus

MallornTea: Edited some of the phrasing of the "New edition" section and modified the "never reprinted since" line. Left a "Publication history and gallery" section ready and hidden for when there's pictures of the book available.

'''''The Old English Exodus''''' is a book collecting [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s text and prose translation of the [[Old English]] poem ''[[wikipedia:Exodus (poem)|Exodus]]'', accompanied by a commentary which was organized from a series of Tolkien's lecture notes from the 1930-40s. The published edition was edited by [[Joan Turville-Petre]], a former pupil of Tolkien's.

''Exodus'' does not refer to the second book of the Bible, but an Old English retelling in the form of an alliterative poem; it contains 590 lines. It re-tells the story of the Israelites' flight from Egyptian captivity and the Crossing of the Red Sea in the manner of a "heroic epic", similar in style to ''[[wikipedia:Beowulf|Beowulf]]''.

The book was published in [[1982]] (though dated 1981),<ref>[[Wayne G. Hammond]], [[Douglas A. Anderson]] (1993), ''[[J.R.R. Tolkien: A Descriptive Bibliography]]'': B35</ref> with only 3000 copies printed.

==New edition==
After being out of print for more that 40 years, the book is receiving a new edition, this time published by [[HarperCollins]], and to be released in May of 2026 as part of a boxed set of Tolkien's "Myths and Legends" (along with [[Finn and Hengest]], [[The Story of Kullervo]], [[The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun]], and [[The Battle of Maldon: together with The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth |The Battle of Maldon]]). The book will not be sold separately<ref>[https://www.tolkienguide.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=7003 Myths and Legends (Boxed Set) #2]</ref>. It will include a preface by Thorlac Turville-Petre, the original editor's son.

==From the editor==
{{blockquote|The Old English Exodus is based on full notes for a series of lectures delivered to a special class in Oxford in the 1930s and 1940s; the notes were retouched in the following decade. It was never intended to be an edition, although the lecturer scrupulously drew up and edited text as basis of his commentary. It is an interpretation of the poem, designed to reconstruct the original (as far as that is possible), and to place it in the context of Old English poetry.}}

The '''sack of Eregion'''<ref>{{NM|P1xviii}}, "Examples of application to Narrative"</ref> was the destruction of the [[Noldor]]in realm [[Eregion]] by the armies of [[Sauron]] in the [[Second Age]]. Sauron invaded Eregion to claim the [[Rings of Power]], including the [[Three Rings]], which were crafted without his knowledge.

==Background==
{{seealso|Rings of Power}}
In {{SA|1200}}, [[Sauron]] came to [[Eregion]] in disguise, claiming to be an emissary of the [[Valar]] sent to offer aid to the [[Eldar]]. Although rejected by [[Gil-galad]], he was able to win over [[Celebrimbor]] and the smiths of Eregion. The brotherhood of smiths, the [[Gwaith-i-Mírdain]], profited from his knowledge,<ref name="Galadriel">{{UT|Concerning}}</ref> and around {{SA|1500}} they began forging the [[Rings of Power]], finishing them in {{SA|1590}}.<ref name="SA">{{App|SA}}</ref> Unbeknownst to them, Sauron (who had returned to [[Mordor]]) created a master [[One Ring|Ring]] to rule the others. However, when the Elves perceived the designs of Sauron, they took off their [[Three Rings]] and gave them into the safekeeping of Elven bearers, preventing the use of the Three Rings which Sauron craved most.<ref>{{S|Rings}}</ref>

==History==
===Prelude===
Infuriated by Celebrimbor's defiance, Sauron led his host out of Mordor and invaded Eriador in {{SA|1695}}.<ref name=SA/> In response to the attack, Gil-galad sent out a force under the command of [[Elrond]] to aid Celebrimbor, as well as send word to [[Númenor]] for assistance.<ref name="Galadriel"/> Sauron also sought to recruit some [[Haradrim]], but because two [[Wizards]] had influence among them, Sauron's dominance was not entirely successful, and he took a long time to attack Eregion.<ref name="NM3">{{NM|P3xviii}}</ref>

===Battle===
[[Celeborn]] led a sortie from Eregion and drove back the vanguard of Sauron's host, later combining forces with Elrond and the reinforcements from [[Lindon]]. As Sauron's host drew closer, the defenders of Eregion could no longer hold him off, because their forces were greatly outnumbered. Sauron's forces surrounded Eregion, thus preventing Elrond and Celeborn from returning there.<ref name="Galadriel"/>

In {{SA|1697}},<ref name=SA/> [[Ost-in-Edhil]] fell, with [[Celebrimbor]] himself making a last desperate stand on the steps of the [[House of the Mírdain]]. He was taken captive by the [[Orcs]]. Sauron took the [[Nine Rings]], and had Celebrimbor tormented into revealing the location of the [[Seven Rings]]. Afterwards, Celebrimbor was shot through with Orc-arrows, and by some accounts, Sauron used Celebrimbor's body as a banner as he turned to face the host of Elrond.<ref name="Galadriel"/>

Elrond would have been overwhelmed, but the host of Sauron was attacked from the rear by the [[Dwarves of Khazad-dûm]] and the [[Galadhrim|Elves of Lórinand]] led by [[Amroth]]. Sauron halted his pursuit of Elrond and turned on the Dwarves and Elves at his rear, quickly defeating them, though this allowed Elrond and his forces to escape.<ref name="Galadriel"/>

===Aftermath===
Elrond was able to gather what remained of the Elves of Eregion and retreated northward and established a refuge, [[Rivendell|Imladris]].<ref name="Galadriel"/> Other survivors escaped into [[Khazad-dûm]]<ref name="Galadriel"/> and were granted passage by their friends the [[Dwarves]], eventually coming through the [[Misty Mountains|Mountains]] to the woodlands that would long afterwards be called [[Lothlórien]]. The Gates of Moria were shut and remained so until the [[Fellowship of the Ring]] came there thousands of years later.{{fact}}

Sauron had obtained all the [[Rings of Power]] save the [[Three Rings]], which he perceived were given to Elvish guardians: Gil-galad and [[Galadriel]]. The host of Sauron ravaged much of Eriador, pressing west to Lindon, where Sauron hoped to seize one of the Three. Furthermore, Sauron sent a bulk of his forces to [[First Siege of Imladris|besiege]] Elrond, in order to prevent him from assailing his rear.<ref name="Galadriel"/>

==Portrayal in adaptations==
'''2009: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'':'''
:In the skirmish instance, "Doom of Caras Gelebren", the player takes part defending the city against Sauron's forces.

'''2014: ''[[Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor]]'':'''
:Sauron's attack on Eregion can be seen in a flashback when the player interacts with Celebrimbor's heirlooms. Celebrimbor is seen fighting orcs before being defeated by Sauron.

'''2024: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power]]'':'''
:In the last two episodes of the second season, [[Adar]]'s army of orcs attacks and breaches into [[Ost-in-Edhil]]. Celebrimbor remains in his forge unaware of the attack, being deceived by [[Annatar]]. He is then killed by [[Sauron]] after discovering the deceit. [[Elrond]] laments the destruction of ancient knowledge as he sees a group of orcs burning books inside the city.

==From the publisher==

===Overview===
{{blockquote|The first-ever publication of a previously unknown short satirical fantasy by J.R.R. Tolkien, edited by his son, Christopher Tolkien, and accompanied by illustrations from the author together with an essay, "The Origin of Bovadium," by Richard Ovenden OBE.

As Christopher Tolkien notes in his Introduction, ''The Bovadium Fragments'' was a "satirical fantasy" written by his father, which grew out of a planning controversy that erupted in Oxford in the late 1940s, when J.R.R. Tolkien was the Merton Professor of English Language and Literature.

Written initially for his own amusement, Tolkien’s tale was a private academic jest that poked gentle fun at the pomposity of archaeologists and the hideousness of college crockery. However, it was at the same time expressing a barbed ''cri de coeur'' against the inexorable rise of motor transport that was overwhelming the tranquility of his beloved city. Interest in publishing it in the 1960s ultimately foundered, and the text remained hidden for 60 years.

In this new edition, Christopher Tolkien provides notes and commentary that will enable the reader to enjoy at last this tale of an imagined Oxford viewed through the lens of future (and not wholly reliable) academic study. The text is accompanied by a small selection of illustrations by the author, some of them previously unpublished, which while not created specifically for this work, convey something of the tone and setting of the story, thereby enriching the tale.

Richard Ovenden's accompanying essay, "The Origin of Bovadium," paints a vivid portrait of Oxford during that time. Its text is illustrated with contemporary photos of the period, together with the actual plans that sparked the controversy. He also provides rich background to the casus belli which led to the furor that Tolkien witnessed firsthand, as the embers of debate between town planners and the university colleges were fanned into flame.

Playful, arch, erudite, and ultimately tragically moving, ''The Bovadium Fragments'' is like nothing else that J.R.R. Tolkien wrote, and its themes remain both provocative and timely. Within its lines may be found a concern for the fragility of our natural world, a love of which was shared by both father and son. As Christopher Tolkien’s final presentation of his father’s work, it is therefore perhaps fitting that ''The Bovadium Fragments'' should be their coda.}}

==Errata & typos==
Several sections of the book were written in [[Latin]] by Tolkien, and these parts do not seem to have been proofread as carefully as the rest of the text: there are a few spelling mistakes and typos left in the final published book. For instance, “Mortori” instead of “Motori” (p. 14), “periculum morris” instead of “periculum mortis”, or “Cresar” for “Caesar” (p. 50-51) and “redificia” for “aedificia” (p. 51). Moreover, the diphtong ''æ'' (''ae'') is not always (''i.e.'' inconsistently) ligatured (''e.g.'' “diversae [''sic''] factæ sunt linguæ eorum”, p. 50).{{References}}

MallornTea:

Resources pertaining to Tolkien's 1911 trip to Switzerland, so that I don't keep all these tabs open at all times. If I don't end up doing it, I hope this helps the expansion of [[J.R.R. Tolkien#Youth]] or perhaps the creation of an article just for the trip.
