About the Book

The "Pre-Fëanorian Alphabets" is an edition of J. R. R. Tolkien's charts and notes from about 1924 to 1929 dealing with the scripts that conceptually precede the Fëanorian Tengwar that would eventually be included in The Lord of the Rings.  This issue of Parma Eldalamberon contains "Pre-Fëanorian Alphabets, Part I," with  the alphabets called Qenyatic, Falassin, Noriac, Banyaric and Sinyatic.  Tolkien's examples of the scripts are reproduced in fascimile.  These include charts of the sounds represented by the letters, and various Qenya, Latin, and English words and texts written in the scripts.  Transcriptions of the examples, and commentary on the dating and historical background are provided.    "Early Elvish Poetry" consists of the drafts of Tolkien's Qenya poems, Oilima Markirya, Nieninqe and Earendel.   These poems were eventually included by Tolkien in his 1931 essay called "A Secret Vice" as examples of the fruition of his private efforts at inventing languages.  Accompanying the drafts of these poems are Tolkien's glossarial commentaries and his translations, from which also emerged the English poems, "The Last Ark" and "Earendel at the Helm."   A version of the poem Nieninque from 1955 is also included.  The documents for each poem have been edited and arranged to show their development, with commentaries on their relation to each other and to the contemporary and earlier writings on the lexicon and grammar of Qenya.   Around this time Tolkien prepared charts of the "Qenya Declensions" and "Qenya Conjugations" as well as a series of "Qenya Word-lists" and these have been included to show how Tolkien's ideas about Qenya had developed at this period.    These writings by J. R. R. Tolkien have been edited and annotated by Christopher Gilson, Arden R. Smith, Patrick H. Wynne, Carl F. Hostetter and Bill Welden.
