[Artemisia] Fw: Stefan's files for February

[caointiarn]

Greetings to the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for February, telling you what is
new in the Florilegium this month.

I am always looking for new and interesting articles for the Florilegium on
a wide variety of SCA and medieval subjects. So if you have written an
article that would be of interest to other folks in the SCA please send it
to me for possible inclusion. Or send me another's article you think should
be included with the proper contact info and I will contact them.

I am looking for additional information collectors, editors and others
interested in helping with the Florilegium. If you think the Florilegium has
been a useful project and you would like to help out, please contact me
online or at the upcoming Gulf Wars event.

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past fourteen 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
