Editorial Approach to 'Laws and Customs among the Eldar'
Highlights
Textual Versions
The work exists in two versions: an original completed manuscript (A) and a partially completed typescript revision (B) created by the author's father.
Editorial Decision
Due to significant differences but extensive overlap between the two texts, the editor has chosen to present version B as the primary text, supplementing it with notes on divergences from version A, and completing the work using version A once the typescript ends.
