Index Of The Lord Of The Rings

(No major entries – Quenya names appear but are not primary index headings.)

For many scholars, the "Index" refers to the extensive Appendices at the end of The Return of the King. These function as a database for the history, languages, and genealogy of Middle-earth.

  • Appendix B: The Tale of Years (Chronology)
  • Appendix C: Family Trees
  • Appendix D: Shire Calendar
  • Appendix E: Writing and Spelling
  • Appendix F: Languages and Peoples
  • Appendix G: Index of Names

    • First, it is essential to understand that The Lord of the Rings is technically a single novel, often published in three volumes. A practical index begins with structure.
