I have enclosed below a copy of my Florilegium article meant for June
publication. If you are a newsletter editor and would like to receive
this monthly article on the fifth of each month instead of at the end,
just let me know and give me your regular and SCA names, group name,
newsletter name and the email address where you'd like it sent.
If anyone has written any articles or bibliographies that they think
would be of interest to others in the Known World, please send
them to me for consideration in adding to the Florilegium.
If anyone has suggestions or ideas on what they'd like to see
added or changed in the Florilegium, feel free to email me.

A Blending of the Past and Present
Over the past ten 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
Files that are new or have been updated are indicated by a special
marker in the filelists at the website. In addition, the file
-updated-files is a listing of these files in chronological order.
A copy of my complete filelist is available in most sections of the
website. This filelist or any of my files is also available from me
by email in either Word or text formats.
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.
