[MR] Stefan's Florilegium files for March

[Olwen the Odd]

 Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World, Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for March. If you have written any SCA-oriented articles for your local newsletter, please consider sending them for me for the Florilegium.You've already put in effort researching and writing such an article, and having it in the Florilegium is one way of helping the Known World as well. Often a class handout or a piece of A&S documentation can also work well. I would especially love to get any formal papers entered in A&S contests. The copyright remains with the author and I accept updates and revisions as you learn more. If any of you are going to be at Gulf Wars in this next week, please consider dropping by and visiting. I will be camping with the Barony of Bryn Gwlad which will be camping across the road from the Ansteorra gate. I will also be teaching my class about the Florilegium twice and my hands-on pewter casting class. The first will be in the class area and the second in the Artisan's Row area. 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. A&S documentation and class handouts will also often work out well. 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.
