[Sca-cooks] Stefan's Florilegium article for December 2018

Sat Dec 15 22:06:31 PST 2018

Greetings to the Gentlefolk of the SCA,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for December 2018, detailing what is new in the Florilegium this month. 

I am always looking for good articles for the Florilegium. If you have researched something 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. Word format is the easiest for me to handle, but others are possible. 

I am in the process of reorganizing the Florilegium website using WordPress. Hopefully this will make it easier for others to help, and perhaps take it over when I'm unable to. If you know WordPress and would like to help, or even just be willing to test run this new version, please email me.

Thanks,
Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past twenty-eight years in an ongoing effort, I have been collecting bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail lists, facebook groups, and articles whose authors have given me permission to publish. In order to make this information available to others, I have placed this information in a collection of files called 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 well. I am especially interested in research papers submitted as A&S entries.

If you see someone's A&S documentation or perhaps an article in a local newsletter that you think deserves a wider audience, please let me know. I won't publish anything without the author's permission, but many authors are too reserved to send me their articles on their own.
