Ainulindalė
by Ryszard Derdzinski
Ainulindalė or 'Music of the Ainur' is a very archaic text. Following J.R.R. Tolkien it was written in Eldamar by Rśmil in archaic form of Quenya. In July 1991 a Quenya translation by Craig Marnock of a short fragment of Ainulindalė was published in Vinyar Tengwar #18, p. 12-13. Another Quenya 'reconstruction' of this text was published in ELFLING. Its author is Vanlin.
