You're right, I'd forgotten that QS77 moved the 'Gift of Men' material as well. Well, when I wrote that I had not yet considered the possibility (raised by Findegil in the 'outline' thread) of... |

I see. Similar to that in QS77, then, which sounds pretty reasonable. Ah, okay; I understand now. And I agree that §§39-42 belong in this chapter, regardless of where the split is made. ... |

Greetings, Gondowe! Good to see you. Just to make sure I understand - is your proposal then to put the split just before §23 of the Ainulindale? That is, end the Ainulindale with §22 and... |

It seems that we never actually discussed the changes in §25 and §32. I like them both in principle, but I think we may need to work harder to integrate them into the text. I will have a careful... |

Having given all this a little thought, I find myself wondering: why are we trying to create a veritable, "realistic" Ainulindale when, as Findegil has pointed out, we long ago decided not to create... |

I think you have discovered the reason that CRT chopped off the end of the Ainulindale and moved that material into "Of the Beginning of Days". I wonder if this may be the best approach for us as... |

It's quite possible that I'm misunderstanding something. I thought that the passage in question was from S. 25: "And I myself, long years agone, in the land of the Valar, have seen Yavanna in the... |

If Findegil and Antoine are against the alteration and retention of the passage in the text, then I would go for eliminating it entirely. A footnote feels like a cheat to me. Keep in mind that... |
