This manuscript depicts Gandalf In the Library at Minas Tirith and was commissioned for the front Cover of ‘Tolkien’s Library’ by Oronzo Cilli with a forward by Tom Shippey. He is an independent scholar working on Tolkien, and living in Puglia, Italy.

In August 2019 Cilli published the book “Tolkien’s Library: An Annotated Checklist” (Luna Press 2019). In the Foreword, Tom Shippey wrote:

“A combination of circumstances means that we know more about J.R.R. Tolkien than about almost any other author, from any period. Nevertheless, in spite of all the efforts, there remains a certain opacity about Tolkien, both professionally and personally”
