FY-HL-22: Is Of the Dominion of Men I title used by Tolkien? I don't think so. But anyhow it seems to me to be to broad. It is true that the Dominion of Men started with Elessar, but it did not end yet. So this title would cover all the History of Middel-earth from the crowning of Elessar to the prophecy of teh Last Battle (and as we talk about an fiegned history all our now real world history in between). That is a deal more than what we have put together in this chapter.

I mean, was the current title used by Tolkien - or rather, used in the sense that we're using it in this forum?

And as to your second objection - I agree, it's too broad: maybe something like The Beginning of the Dominion of Men?

Used as a title, yes. Used to cover the same over all time frame, neare enough. Used to title the same text, of course not.

Thus I at least see still a difference from creating a title out of something mentioned some where in a text.
