Quentalë Ardanómion

Quentalë Ardanómion is a work that Ælfwine states having used as a source for the text Concerning the Dwarves beside Lammas and Dorgannas Iaur.^[1] The work is not mentioned elsewhere, nor is its writer known.

Etymology

The Quenya word quentalë means 'history'.^[2] Ardanómion is not quite clear apart the beginning of the word, Arda. Måns Björkman considers -nómion possibly a misreading of the manuscript, because -nornion < norno 'dwarf' would make sense in a work used as a source for a text on dwarves.^[3]
