Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for November.

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.
