Ars Caidis
History
Caid's original A&S magazines, The Arts Quarterly and The Scientific Caidan and Son of Scientific Caidan were published by the then separate Office of Arts and the Office of Sciences. The Arts Quarterly was created to serve as an arts forum for the Kingdom and featured articles, book reviews and poetry. It was published four times a year in January, April, July and October. The Scientific Caidan was published in the early 1980s. In 1987, and two issues of Son of the Scientific Caidan were published, under the Caidan Office of Sciences under (Rosemary Petsley, Editor).
Ars Caidis was one of Caid's Arts and Sciences journals, originally published as a combined effort of the Caidan Office of Arts and of the Caidan Office of Sciences. The first issue of Ars Caidis was published, under the sponsorship of HRM Adriana as the Kingdom's patroness of Arts and Sciences. The Ars Caidis continued to be published after the Caidan Office of Arts and of the Caidan Office of Sciences were combined into the Caidan Office of Arts and Sciences.
Ars Caidis was honored in A.S. 39 as the SCA's best Special Interest Newsletter.
The Ars Caidis: The Caidan Arts and Sciences Digest (from the Crown Prints, 1990)
The “Arts Quarterly” and the “Scientific Caidan” have combined. Now we are looking for you! We are accepting contributions of art and articles on or inspired by any medieval or renaissance subject, and our re-creation of these times in Caid. We’ll take anything that the Tournaments Illuminated would, and then some, including short fiction in a Medieval style and subject. We’ll accept how-to articles, research, poetry, reviews and al most anything else. We would be especially happy to get material from the Guilds within Caid so we can better appreciate the work you do!
Our format is exactly the same as The Crown Prints</> (we’re using their press). Our deadline will be Caidan Crown Trouneys. Each new issue will be available at Coronations for $ (TBA). Presale copies may be purchased for $ (TBA) including first class mailing. All proceeds after cost will be donated to The Crown Prints collation machine fund. For submissions or presale information, contact, Lord Eadwynne of Runedun, Editor, Kingdom Minister of Sciences, Caid.

Ars Caidis Summer 2009 Editor: THL Caitlin Christiana Wintour |
Theme: "Period Supernatural" - In our world of celluloid horror and King novels, it is easy to think of the supernatural as a modern invention. Some things are, such as the vampire that entered its pointy-toothed glory in the 19th century. But our time period sported a rich variety of supernatural tales of the walking dead, dark dwarves, hellish dogs, haunted houses, and ghost-infested barrows. Whether we find them in England's monastic ghost stories or the rip-roaring revenants of dark Iceland. Europe was a hotbed of supernatural scary tales. In this issue we screw up our courage and poke around these dark and cobwebby corners. | |
Ars Caidis Winter 2009 Editor: Mistress Caitlin Christiana Wintour |
Theme: "Performance Arts in Caid" - This issue celebrates Performance Arts in Caid. We will offer encouragement, how-tos, and resources for budding and experienced bards. Share and learn about music, acting, storytelling, composition, and many other aspects of the SCA bard. | |
Ars Caidis Spring 2010 Editor: Mistress Caitlin Christiana Wintour |
Theme: "The Northmen" - This issue will cover the ever-entertaining Vikings as well as Norse beliefs and everyday life. The Northmen hugely impacted Europe from England to Russia, and left their mark in other lands too. Besides, they're just fun. | |
