Findegil
Scribe of Gondor. Findegil was a King's Writer who completed a fair copy of The Thain's Book in Minas Tirith in the year 172 of the Fourth Age. The copy was probably made at the request of the great-grandson of Thain Peregrin I and was brought to the Shire, where it was kept in the Great Smials at Tuckborough. Findegil's copy of The Thain's Book became an important source of information on the role of the Hobbits in the War of the Ring and was the only copy to include Bilbo's complete Translations from the Elvish, a history of the Elder Days which he compiled while at Rivendell between 3003 and 3018.
