3.4 What is Period?
The period (and place) of interest to the SCA, as defined in Corpora and the
By-Laws, is
Western Europe and cultures that had contact with Western Europe before the
17th Century.
Except that this statement is patently untrue. Corpora doesn't define
period at all, and the By-Laws state:
"III. The Society shall be dedicated primarily to the promotion of
research and re-creation in the field of pre-17th-century Western
culture, as stated in greater detail in Article II of the Society's
Articles of Incorporation."
The Articles of Incorporation state (primarily):
"2.II. Research and education in the field of pre-17th-Century
Western Culture."
Whatever it is you are quoting, is wrong. And probably not "official".
After all, the Preface to the Governing Documents say that the Articles of
Incorporation, By-Laws, Corpora and G&PD decisions form the basis of the
Society's definition. See also Appendix A of Corpora itself.
In other words: what you quote is neither official, nor is it correct in
what it says about other documents.
