Perhaps it would work best as an appendix with a section for each chapter. This would prevent the interruption of the text itself with footnotes.
I agree with Aiwendil's version and think leaving all such external textual considerations to an appendix [or series of them] is the way to go.

The text itself except for the rare footnote (as I think was adopted in Ainulindale) should [imo] read as one continuous tale as per the 77.

I love it. A silmarillion minority report.
