Stefan's FlorilegiumArchive Stefan'sFlorilegium This is acollection of files that I have assembled from various sources since Ifirst joined the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) in 1989.Theinformation in these files comes from the Rialto newsgroup(rec.org.sca),the old fidonet medieval echo conferance area, variousmail lists, messages from various Facebook groups and articles submittedto me by their authors.Several types of files are available: -msg (or no suffix) These filesare composed of a variety of short messages from a variety of authorshaving a common subject .-artA stand-alone article written by a single author.Some are off of thenetworks while some were submitted to me by the author. -bib A bibliography of bookand article titles on a single subject.-FAQ An article file thatfollows a Frequently Asked Questions format.What's a`Florilegium'? Literally, it means "a gathering of flowers".Florilegiawere collections of choice tidbits (from Ovid, Aristotle, various popes,church scholars, etc) arranged topically. Typically, aflorilegium is huge, encyclopedic, and contains only choice selectionsfrom particular works. Example, Ovid's Metamorphoseswould be toolong to include in its entirety and might suggest some ofthe wrong ideas(from a Church viewpoint), so only those works that offerclear exegeticor moralistic exempla would likely be included. Thus, a florilegiumwould probably *not* include Nestor's account of the battle of theLapiths -- the tale pokes fun at Nestor, at old men attempting to claimwisdom solely based upon age, and (less directly) at Homer. Aflorilegium probably *would* contain the tales of Midas, however,because they provide lessons on the evils of greed, pride, andgossip.I hope you find these files useful, interesting, amusing orall three.Honorable Lord Stefan li Rous (Mark S. Harris) stefanlirous@gmail.com).
