[MR] Stefan's files for December

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World, 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.
