by Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond

This list accounts for entries posted since 14 June 2024 of addenda and corrigenda common to the two parts of the revised edition of The J.R.R. Tolkien Companion and Guide (Chronology in one volume, and Reader’s Guide in two). Elsewhere on this site may be read a comprehensive list of common addenda and corrigenda; addenda and corrigenda specific to vol. 1, the Chronology, arranged by date; and addenda and corrigenda specific to vols. 2 and 3 , the Reader’s Guide, arranged by date. Significant revisions of addenda or corrigenda (as opposed to revisions of the Companion and Guide proper), but not merely additions, are marked thus: [REVISED]. Hyperlinks are included selectively, to lead to further (especially pictorial) material; for additional links, and full bibliographical citations, see the supplemental bibliography.
