Greetings to the Gentles of the SCA-Cooks maillist,
Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for December detailing what
is new in the Florilegium this month.
If you have some ideas for articles that you currently can't find in
the Florilegium, please let me know and I'll add these to my list
which I will eventually post on the webpage, and perhaps someone will
write an article on one of those subjects.
If you have written an article for a newsletter or you have a class
handout or A&S paper, please send me a copy to possibly add to the
Florilegium. This way folks across the Known World can learn from the
work you've done. My preference is to get such items in Word or RTF
format since then they are easily adapted to the various formats
files are available in the Florilegium, but I can accept other formats.
Last month I got bounce messages from both people that I have
addresses for to forward this monthly article to the Trimaris list,
Baroness Adsiltia and Jacquetta Grimaldi. I would appreciate it if
someone would forward this message to the Trimaris list, and/or these
two people. Or if there is someone on that list who would like to
take over forwarding this monthly article there, please contract me.
Thanks,
Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present
Over the past seventeen 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 collection 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.
