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, neither its writer is 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 norn 'dwarf' would make sense in a work used as a source for a text on dwarves.[3]
