Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World,

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

This message should be going to all kingdom mailing lists. If you are on
another list, so you have seen this, but you don't see it on your  kingdom
list, please let me know so I can work on finding and fixing
any problems.

I also create a version of this article each month for websites, which
includes links for each file. If you run a website and would  like to be
added to my monthly list to get a copy of the web version of this article,
please contact me.

If you have written an article that you, or your friends, think would  be a
good addition to the Florilegium, please send a copy to me. The  author
keeps the copyright to any material I use and its a good way
to help out others all around the Known World.  If you have an idea for an
article you would like to see, please email me with the  suggestion and I
will add it to my "Article Ideas list" which  hopefully will get added to
the site soon.

Stefan

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.
