[MR] Stefan's files for Feb.

[Olwen the Odd]

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.
