Marion E. Wade Center

Say "hi" to Tolkien's desk for me...

I plan on visiting sometime in the next 6 months. I would consult the following journal if they have it:

Gilson, Christopher. “More Speculation on The Silmarillion.” Fantasiae, 5, No. 3, Whole 52 (July, 1977). 10.

Notes on the Encircling Mountains around Gondolin mentioned in Christopher Tolkien’s account of the Silm (II-656), and on the Elvish poem on p. 76 of Carpenter (II-86).

Gilson, Christopher. “A Note on the Prelude to The Silmarillion.” Fantasiae, 5, No. 3, Whole No. 48 (March, 1977), 1, 4.

Comments on the significance of the Elvish words “Ainulindalë” and “Valaquenta” in announcements of the forthcoming publication of Silm.

Hi Bart - something is off in your numbering - I think whole number 52 (July 1977) is Volume 5, no. 7. Sadly I don't have a copy of any volume 5 issues personally, but my records show #53 was V5N8.

The catalog shows that the Wade center does have these issues.

Your're right. I copied the number incorrectly. Thanks for the info. It is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the suggestions Bart! I'll have to save them for next time as I didn't even get through the list of things I had made for myself... too much good stuff here! Urulöké, Tolkien's desk says 'hi' back

Thanks for the link!
