We Are The Editors.
A quick and dirty post to contain a few different handouts I’ve written so they’re out in the world somewhere public I control.
Medieval-Inspired Wood Butchery Using Fewer Tools Than You’d Think And Far Less Space – v1 – February 2026
Historically Inspired SCA Heraldry – v1 – February 2024
TUTR NOVUS II Introduction to Heraldry and Heraldic Display – v1 – July 2023
A semi-random collection of stuff I’m finding useful as I continue to explore calligraphy, illumination, charter painting, and other aspects of the scribe’s art in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Possibly first of an irregular series.
Toward a More Period Text – lots of good thoughts on award wording in the SCA. Lots and lots of good stuff on the Kingdom of Lochac’s College of Scribes website, in fact, especially their Model Book page.
There’s a useful little Ecclesiastical Date Calculator with some additional explanation of saint’s days, moveable and fixed feasts, and that sort of thing if you want more reference for the period-style date and calendar advice from the More Period Text article.
Medievalist.net has a calendar of saints c.1500 CE, and the Medieval Combat Society has a 14th C. calendar of saints & feasts that also has 14th C English kings for reign-dating.
