[Sca-cooks] Stefan's files for February

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings to the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for February, telling you what 
is new in the Florilegium this month.

I am always looking for new and interesting articles for the 
Florilegium on a wide variety of SCA and medieval subjects. So if you 
have written an article that would be of interest to other folks in the 
SCA please send it to me for possible inclusion. Or send me another's 
article you think should be included with the proper contact info and I 
will contact them.

I am looking for additional information collectors, editors and others 
interested in helping with the Florilegium. If you think the 
Florilegium has been a useful project and you would like to help out, 
please contact me online or at the upcoming Gulf Wars event.

Thanks,
   Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past fourteen 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.
