 | | He was in love with the Bëorian woman Andreth, but because it was wartime did not make his intentions towards her clear, and was killed soon after. | | | In some of the earliest stories (see: The Book of Lost Tales), this was the name of the father of Beren (who then was a Ñoldorin Elf, not a Man as in later writings). | | | In the early versions of Tolkien's legendarium (see: History of Middle-earth), a character named Egnor appears. |

| | The prototype of this character was Tevildo, lord of the cats, who played the role later taken by Sauron in the earliest version of the story of Beren and Lúthien in The Book of Lost Tales. | | | This subject's portrayal in earlier or alternative versions is discussed in the other versions of the legendarium section. | | | The main part of this article relates to the version of Middle-earth's history that is considered canon by most Tolkien fans who accept such labels (see: Middle-earth canon). |

| | Verlyn Flieger and Carl F. Hostetter, editors, Tolkien's Legendarium: Essays on The History of Middle Earth |
| | Tolkien was first a linguist, and he once admitted that he invented Middle Earth and its stories largely as a way to play with the languages he loved to invent. | | | In the twelve volumes of The History of Middle Earth, Christopher has painstakingly teased out the tangle and presented his father's mythology, or "legendarium," thematically and chronologically throughout its evolution. | | | Section One covers the development and structure of the twelve-volume History of Middle Earth itself; Section Two deals specifically with Tolkien's invented languages; and Section Three treats aspects of Tolkien's craft as storyteller and worldmaker. |

| | Book reviews page 3 - The Tolkien Society |
| | The first of the three sections into which the book is subdivided concerns the history of the Legendarium. | | | This practice, along with citing published works in italics and offsetting quoted passages from the main text, produces a format that is pleasing to the eye, does not interrupt the flow of the essays, and yet contains references enough to satisfy the most ardent scholar. | | | , and the book's dedication is followed by a lengthy quote from this same work, so fundamental is this style to the eventual state of the Legendarium. |

| | Talk:The Hobbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Hobbit was considered a children's book when it was first translated into Finnish, with a matching translation of names and an illustration by Tove Jansson. | | | I love the word "legendarium," but it is not in common usage. | | | And legendarium can be made into a redirect to mythology. |

| | The Encyclopedia of Arda: Disclaimer and Bibliography |
| | This presents a particular problem in compiling an encyclopedic work such as this site: it cannot be possible to be completely truthful to Tolkien's vision, because that vision never achieved a complete and unified whole during his lifetime. | | | The question of canon (that is, which works to treat as authoritative) is a thorny one where Tolkien's work is concerned, especially as so much of his legendarium was published posthumously by his son Christopher. |

| | Indeed nowadays Tolkien's 'legendarium' may be understood as the work of both Tolkiens together: as Rayner Unwin says in the first text of this book, thanks to Christopher Tolkien "one man's imaginative genius has had the benefit of two lifetimes' work". | | | That is what the first group of essays, assembled under the title 'The History', studies: 'The History of Middle-earth' books as a literary (or, at least, editorial) work. | | | This book deals with good scholarship not only about J.R.R. Tolkien, but also his son and literary executor Christopher Tolkien, who edited the 'History of Middle-earth' volumes, which the essays here given analyse. |

| | Review: Tolkien's Legendarium |
| | In some cases the posthumous material is used to illuminate elements of the elder Tolkien's more familiar works; in others the focus is on those aspects of the legendarium that only saw the light of day in The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and The History of Middle-earth. | | | Taken as a whole, Tolkien's Legendarium is a significant contribution to the study of J.R.R. Tolkien, one that should be added to anyone's collection of basic critical works on that author. | | | Tolkien's Legendarium: Essays on The History of Middle-earth |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Acts of the Martyrs |
| | Under these circumstances it is not improbable that the desire of the faithful for fuller information would easily be satisfied by raconteurs who, having only scanty material at their disposal, would amplify and multiply the few facts preserved in tradition and attach what they considered suitable stories to historical names and localities. | | | And in the course of time it is argued these legends were committed to writing, and have come down to us as the Roman legendarium. | | | In support of this severe criticism it is urged that the Roman Acta are for the most part not earlier than the sixth century (Dufourcq), and that spurious Acta were certainly not unknown during the period. |

| | We are also exploring the possibility that JRR Tolkien's Legendarium is in fact a valid mythos and could have existed at one time on this plane of existence we know as Earth, as we are even finding legitimate links between the Legendarium and our existence today. | | | During this process, not only have we noticed people drawn to this path that believe that they have had ancestral memories, or past lifetimes as Tolkienist Elves, but there is also an exploration in process of the very real possibility of Elven genetics or biology, or in other words, Elf blood or DNA. | | | Tië eldaliéva, meaning the (spiritual) Path of the Star-People, or Elves, was birthed/created on August 23, 2005 and though it is not easy, it is becoming a most beautiful spiritual path based on mostly the Elven or Quendi portions of Tolkien's Middle-Earth writings. |
