The article is a little contradictory on that, it first states that Brian Sibley is the editor but in the quote of Brian Sibley he states his task as 'bringing together J.R.R. Tolkien’s writings (under the editorship of Christopher Tolkien) relating to the dramatic history spanning the Second Age of Middle-earth'.
- ojbyrne 4y agoSo it says further down: “ Presenting for the first time in one volume the events of the Second Age as written by J.R.R. Tolkien and originally and masterfully edited for publication by Christopher Tolkien” So “originally” edited by Christopher Tolkien (who is dead), further editing by Brian Sibley.
- themadturk 4y agoI (perhaps over-optimistically) read it as Brian Sibley is taking the various edited work Christopher Tolkien did on the Second Age texts and bringing them together in a single place, in order, with some sort of commentary or framework around them. Doesn't sound like he's actually re-working the texts themselves, but who knows.
