DoV

Actually Saulotus , the quote about pulling out your DoV was [foolishly dor my part it is now revealed ] in jest. I thought you had already given us your versions! I quite agree w/ holding back till the discussion phase , so that the group process thing can work itself out. I assume yours is a MT version?

I would be interested to know , as this is part of what I envision as necesarry pre-editing discussion,:
how did you handle the inclusion of the Finwe and Miriel material ? it seems to throw alll other versions into a bit of disarray. I am still going through X to get the gist of all the versions and what has been shifted , so i may be missing the obvious .

Mithadan , any early obsevations of the X version to guide my reading abit?
durelen , M. is sending you a copy?

"What then was this hope , if you know ?" Finrod asked "They say" answered Andreth :" they say that the One will himself enter into Arda , and heal Men and all the Marring from the begining to the end." Lindil is often found on posting on the 'New Revised Standard' Silmarillion at the Barrowdowns discussion board. </p>
