[Sca-cooks] Stefan's Florilegium files for May

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings to the Gentles of the SCA-Cooks list,

Here is a copy of my monthly Florilegium article for May, detailing  
what is new in the Florilegium this month.

If you appreciate the material which is available in the Florilegium,  
and you run a website, please consider adding a link to the  
Florilegium or any of the sections or files inside it. This will help  
others who might also find it useful to find it and make use of it.

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. A&S documentation  
and class handouts will also often work out well.

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.
