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

[caointiarn]

> Greetings to the Populace of the Known World,
> Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for January, detailing what is
new in the Florilegium for this month.
 ------------
 A Blending of the Past and Present
 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 COMBAT section:
     p-handgonnes-lnks    Links medieval handgonnes, and related  weapons
     by Dame Aoife Finn of Ynos Mon.
     Wel-Rnded-Ftr-art    "The Well Rounded Fighter" by H.E. Brian du Val.
In the PERSONAL CARE section:
     p-medicine-lnks      Links to info on medieval illnesses
                             by Dame Aoife Finn of Ynos Mon.
 In the RELIGION section:
     med-charity-lnks     Links to medieval charity by Dame Aoife Finn of
