Perhaps this file in the NEWCOMERS section of the Florilegium might  
be of use:
courtesy-msg      (32K)  1/19/96    Courtesy guidelines in the SCA  
and period.
                                        Hand-kissing and bowing.

There is also a bit on this in this file in the PERSONAS section:
Persona-CMA-art   (13K)  2/18/05    "Persona in the Current Middle  
Ages -
                                        Guidelines to persona play"
                                        by Mistress Willow de Wisp..

Hmmm. I thought I had an article specifically on hand kissing, but I  
can't find one. So, if someone has written one or would be willing to  
write one, I'd be interested in considering it for the Florilegium.
