Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World!

I know that many of you are off to Pennsic by now, but hopefully you  
will see this upon your return!

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for August detailing what is  
new at the Florilegium site this month.

If you are the editor of a local newsletter and would like to get a  
copy of this article several weeks ahead of when I post it to the  
mailing lists, so you can meet your various publication deadlines,  
please contact me.

I also create a version of this article with all the files given as  
HTML links for those who would like to add this monthly article to  
their webpages. If you would be interested in getting added to my  
list to get this, also contact me.

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past sixteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been  
collecting bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail  
lists and articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make  
this information available to others, I have placed this information  
in a series of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an  
article that would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send  
it to me for possible inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for  
more details.

I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping  
me maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials,  
editing and web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more  
details.

For those who would like to help support the Florilegium project in  
another way, I have added a PayPal donation button on the top page of  
the site. Any donations, while not tax deductible, do help pay the  
overhead costs of keeping the site running.
