Greetings to the Gentles of SCA-Cooks list,
Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for March detailing what is
new in the Florilegium this month.
I am always looking for good articles for the Florilegium. If you have
researched a little known subject in our period or you practice a
little known art or craft, writing an article is an excellent way to
introduce others to the work you've done. I'm especially interested in
academic papers written for A&S contests because, unfortunately, few
have time at such an event to read them. Even the judges. Getting them
published in the Florilegium lets your hard word benefit the entire
Known World.
If you are a newsletter editor and would like to get a copy of this
monthly article for your print newsletter several weeks before I post
it to the mail lists, please contact me. If you publish a newsletter
on the web, I also have a version of this article which includes the
links for each file. If you would like to get on my list for the web
version of this article, please email me.
For those going to Gulf Wars this year, I will again be teaching my
class on the Florilegium on Wednesday and Friday. Find out the history
of the Florilegium, what it is good for and what it isn't and some
useful hints on using it. On Tuesday and Thursday I will again be
teaching my hands-on pewter casting classes. Learn how to carve your
own molds in soapstone in the morning class and then use that mold to
make some castings in the afternoon class. And lastly, I am helping to
organize a panel discussion on Wednesday for newcomers to the SCA.
Come get your questions answered.
Please support the Florilegium so I can keep it online by clicking on
any ads that look interesting to you. The amount advertisers are
willing to pay is affected by the number of 'clicks' they get. More
information and minimal advertising has been my goal and I don't wish
to change that.
Thanks,
Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present
Over the past twenty 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 especially interested in
A&S papers.
Advertisements on the site pay for its upkeep. If you enjoy the
Florilegium, please click on an ad or two each time you are there.
