[Artemisia] Fw: Stefan's Florilegium files for February

[caointiarn]

> Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World,
> I plan to attend the Gulf Wars event again in March. If you are going  to
be there and would like to come by to give me your comments about  the
Florilegium or just to chat, please do so. I will be staying with  my home
group, the Barony of Bryn Gwlad, who are usually camped across
 from the Ansteorra gate.

 Over the past fifteen 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.

 One of my prime concerns currently is to update all files to the new format
which includes several new features such as making links  "pickable" and
some  disguising of all email addresses to make it
 harder for the spammer's programs to harvest email addresses from this
site. Yes, I am modifying all 1800+ files as fast as I can. This  means
that while I will continue to add new files each month, the usual  amount
will be reduced. However, as I update the files to the new  format, I am
adding any information I have waiting to go in a file, so there will be more
updated files

 Here are the new files for this month:
 In the ACCESSORIES section:
     finger-rings-lnks    Links to information on medieval finger rings
by Dame Aoife Finn of Ynos Mon.
 In the CLELBRATIONS AND EVENTS section:
     Halloween-lnks       Links to Halloween and its origins
                             by Dame Aoife Finn of Ynos Mon.
     Holiday-Celeb-lnks   Links to medieval holiday celebrations
                             by Dame Aoife Finn of Ynos Mon.

 In the FOOD-VEGETABLES section:
