Quennar i Onótimo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Noldor elf who apparently lived in Tirion, a city in Valinor, before the First Age. He appeared in J. R. R. Tolkien's background notes on Middle-earth. In Christopher Tolkien's edited version, he has Quennar i Onótimo as the author of three important works still known in the Third Age. They are:
- Of the beginning of time and its reckoning.
- Yénonótië (which can be translated as the Counting of Years).
- the Tale of Years.
It is thought that one or all of these works could have been inspirations for Rúmil's Annals of Aman (another fictional work which appeared in volume 10 of Christopher Tolkien's The History of Middle-earth). It appears that he stopped writing after the fall of Morgoth.
Pengolodh of Gondolin later continued and completed much of his work.
