In early Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, this was the book of legends from which the history of the Elves was derived (SM/78), a combination of parma “book” and kuluina “golden”.
Conceptual Development: The Golden Book ᴱQ. Parma Kuluinen was first mentioned in the earliest Lost Tales (LT2/283, 310), but it disappeared in later versions of the lengendarium, replaced by oral legends such as the Quenta Silmarillion and the Narn i Chîn Húrin.
