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
