The two files I have on measurements in the Florilegium are in the COMMERCE
section and are:
measures-art      (21K)  1/ 5/98    Definitions of many medieval measurements 
                                       by Marc Carlson (Diarmaid)
measures-msg      (74K)  6/ 7/99    Period measures and cautions for recipes.

I know the -msg file is rather hodgepodge but that is generally the case with
message files which are, after all, just collections of messages.

If you come up with a more comprehensive article or table, I'd love to be
able to consider it for the Florilegium or at least send me a message describing
what you have put together and where folks might find it.
