Come join us in the heartland for the SCA’s first symposium for studying the arts and sciences aspect of historic combat! The symposium will take place as part of the opening weekend of Lilies War (June 7-16) and provide a series of focused classes and hands on workshops focused on the A&S side of medieval and renaissance combat.

These topics include but are not limited to the study of historic combat techniques – including weapons and techniques that are not part of SA marshal activities; military history; and the creation of armor, weapons, archery equipment, and equestrian equipment.

Fighting activities (rattan, fencing, and archery) will emphasize the historic aspects of combat and attendees will also be welcome to join Calontir for everything else that Lilies War has to offer! Plenty of camping space is available and dogs are allowed.

Request for Bids: Known World Sciences Symposium

The Society Minister of Arts and Science, Seigneur Etienne Le Mons d’Anjou, and the Society Deputy Minister for the Sciences, Master Galen of Ockham, are soliciting for bids for a Known World Sciences Symposium to be held in calendar year 2020, though a bid for a 2019 date would also be acceptable.

What do you mean by “Sciences”?

The Arts and Sciences in the SCA are most commonly represented by making a period-style object – clothing, armour, scroll, brooch, etc. The Sciences, on the other hand, deal more with observations and interactions with the natural world and the underlying theories – thus the term ‘natural philosophy’ that characterized the early forays into our modern sciences.

Some examples include: astronomical instruments, their theory and use; the Aristotelian system of physics; cosmological theories; astrological medicine; food as a treatment for disease; theories of disease transmission; agricultural production; care of battlefield wounds; beekeeping; a medieval bestiary; alchemical theories; Scholastic philosophy; metallurgy; medieval dyes; the origin and development of university education; medieval music theory; and many, many more.

What are the considerations for the event?
