From the Prologue: |
Message: |
The original Red Book has not been preserved, but many copies were made[...]
The most important copy [...] was kept at Great Smials, [and] written in
Gondor, probably at the request of the great-grandson of Peregrin, and
completed in SR 1592 (IV 172)[...] It is an exact copy in all details of the
Thain's Book in Minas Tirith. That book was a copy, made at the request of King
Elessar, of the Red Book of the Periannath, and was brought to him by the Thain
Peregrin when he retired to Gondor in IV 64.
The Thain's Book was thus the first copy of the Red Book and contained much
that was later omitted and lost. In Minas Tirith it received much annotation,
and many corrections [...] and there was added to it an abbreviated version of
those parts of The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen which lie outside the
account of the War. [...] But the chief importance of [the copy] is that it
alone contains the whole of Bilbo's "Translations from the Elvish"[.]
