Celebrimbor - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Gothmog, it seems I did not formulate my proposal clear enough. So here goes the next try: From my point of view (and it seems from the discussion that many of old members thought the same) we have not enough textual evidence to write in our version any clear statement that Celebrimbor was in Gondolin at any time! If we can handle it in the text of The Elessar that he might have been in Gondolin or not, that is fine with me. But that has to be tried out in the text of The Elessar. That is obviously the think someone should do, if he wants to keep Celebrimbor as the maker of both jewells.

Respectfully
Findegil

P.S.: That task seems to be a nice exercise of the ambiguous style of editorial work we have to do so often.
