No, the original manuscripts have not yet been published.– machCommented Dec 21, 2020 at 11:08

@mach - Huh, one would figure that after 40 years...– ibidCommented Dec 21, 2020 at 16:21

New material keeps being published, especially the linguistic material, especially in the Parma Eldalamberon journal. Out of the six numeral systems we know of, four have been published since 2012.– machCommented Dec 22, 2020 at 22:26

@mach - It's been five years since the PE22 which makes this the longest gap since PE began publishing primary Tolkien material. And supposedly volumes 23 and 24 have both been under development in parallel this whole time, but yet continue to not be out. I wouldn't exactly say that this new material "keeps being published".– ibidCommented Dec 23, 2020 at 2:12

1The exact connotations of the English continuous escape me. Maybe I should have said “new material will be published” instead? We do not know when, but there is unpublished material out there, and people are working on its publication. Coming from a German-speaking country, I am dismayed that they do it in their free time. I would expect such a great endeavour to occupy an entire research group at a university. Still, they keep on working and I am grateful to them.– machCommented Dec 23, 2020 at 8:24

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
