The Litany of Loreto is an unfinished translation of the Litany of Loreto into Quenya made by J.R.R. Tolkien in the 1950s. It was published in Vinyar Tengwar, Number 44, June 2002 in 2002, edited by Patrick H. Wynne, Arden R. Smith, and Carl F. Hostetter. It only covers the invocation to the Trinity and the first five titles of the Virgin Mary.
In 1944, Tolkien recommended his son Christopher to learn "the Litany of Loretto (with the prayer Sub tuum praesidium)" by heart.[1] It was therefore logical that Tolkien created his own Quenya translation, which immediately follows in the same manuscript as the Ortírielyanna.[2]
