[MR] Stefan's Florilegium article for May

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World,

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

If you have written an article for a local SCA newsletter please send  it to 
me to consider putting it into the Florilegium. Let more than  just your 
local group take advantage of the time and effort you spent  researching and 
writing your article. My standard policy is that the  copyright remains with 
the author and I will accept updates or  removal requests at any time. I 
want to get good articles out where  all in the SCA can use them. Let's 
stand on each other's shoulders  and together advance our knowledge of the 
Middle Ages.

If you are a newsletter editor, remember that there are a number of  short 
articles in the Florilegium which make good articles for  newsletters. Most 
have the needed permissions at the end of the article.

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past sixteen 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.

For those who would like to help support the Florilegium project in  another 
way, I have added a PayPal donation button on the top page of  the site. Any 
donations, while not tax deductible, do help pay the  overhead costs of 
keeping the site running.
