What did Gandalf look for in archives of Minas Tirith? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I am not sure I am convinced, Mithadan. In the quote from UT, there is said Gandalf’s interest was Isildur’s Ring. So my question is - why that soon? Because Sauron’s open return to Mordor? Because he was scared the Ring would appear again? Because he was afraid there might be a link to Bilbo’s ring? What do you guys think? In Shadow of Past, Gandalf said his doubts slept, while here we see he was in archives quite a few times. Also, he wanted to capture Gollum much earlier. So that would mean he was more concerned about the Ring than he says to Frodo. What do think?
