I am trying to write a poem about Tuor in the same meter as the Gest of Beren and Luthien. I've barely started, but I'm trying to find all references to Tuor in Tolkien's writings. I know he is mentioned in the Book of Lost Tales II, the silmarillion and in Unifinished Tales. Does anyone know of any other references?

Yoou say that Tuor is mentioned in the book of lost tales II...Because you say "mentioned" I wonder if perhaps you've not yet read it. Let me tell you that it is a must if you write about Tuor, not only is it a damn good story but Tuor is more than Mentioned he is the star of the tale. The first 20 or so pages of the story are maybe more atmosphereic than anything in The Silmarillion. To read this will enrich your experience of the Quenta Silmarillion when you read it again after. The Story is "The Fall of Gondolin"...butit is just as much a story of Tuor.

ok, 'mentioned' was definitely the wrong word for me to use. Yes, I have read it several times, and it is probably my favorite Tolkien work ever. I haven't read the whole HoME, so I am trying to find out if there are other stories I haven't seen.
