Findegil
Findegil was the King's Writer of Gondor in the Fourth Age.
History
Findegil presumably served under the kingship of Eldarion in the Fourth Age.
In Fourth Age 172, Findegil wrote a copy of the Thain's Book for the Thain of the Shire, probably at the request of Peregrin Took's great-grandson. This copy was the only one to include Bilbo Baggins's complete Translations from the Elvish, which Bilbo had composed while at Rivendell during his 'retirement' there.
Etymology
The character is described as "King's Writer", but the exact meaning of the name is unglossed, although it is clearly Sindarin. David Salo suggests the first element could be find ("hair"), and Paul Strack suggests the last one could be lenited tegil ("pen").
