For those who might be interested, there is a copy of Corpora from  
the time Tivar joined the SCA (1972-74) in the SCA-INC section of the  
Florilegium:
corpora-early-art (99K)  3/31/95    Early SCA Corpora and bylaws.  
1972-74.

> FWIW, the original Articles of Incorporation, which were filed in
> 1968, specify "pre-17th century." (they can be seen here:
