Quentalë Ardanómion
From Tolkien Gateway
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]
