In briefanswer capsule

Findegil, serving as King’s Writer, finished in IV 172 a full and faithful transcript of the Thain’s Book of Minas Tirith. Produced in Gondor, probably for Peregrin’s great-grandson, it was kept at Great Smials. This manuscript alone retains Bilbo’s entire Translations from the Elvish. The Thain’s Book was the first copy of the Red Book of the Periannath, made for King Elessar and brought south by Thain Peregrin on his removal to Gondor in IV 64.
