[MR] Stefan's Florilegium files for May

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings to the Gentles across the Known World, Here is a copy of my monthly Florilegium article for May, detailing what is new in the Florilegium this month. If you appreciate the material which is available in the Florilegium, and you run a website, please consider adding a link to the Florilegium or any of the sections or files inside it. This will help others who might also find it useful to find it and make use of it. 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.
