ᴹQ. Parma Kuluina pn. “Golden Book”

ᴹQ. Parma Kuluina, pn. “Golden Book”

In early Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, this was the book of legends from which the history of the Elves was derived (SM/78), a combination of parma “book” and kuluina “golden”.

Conceptual Development: The Golden Book ᴱQ. Parma Kuluinen was first mentioned in the earliest Lost Tales (LT2/283, 310), but it disappeared in later versions of the lengendarium, replaced by oral legends such as the Quenta Silmarillion and the Narn i Chîn Húrin.
