Embroidery
Context: There are many types of embroidery used in the historical period covered by the SCA (approximately 400 AD to 1600 AD). Counted thread embroidery is one of the easier forms of embroidery found in our period. In this type of embroidery the stitches are applied over the same number of threads in the background fabric each time the stitch is worked. This makes all the stitches a uniform size and shape. In the SCA period there are many different stitches in the class of counted embroidery. These stitches can be combined to form different styles of embroidery ...etc

Note from asker:
| The style of the motifs used in the embroidery is the most obvious difference from the modern cross stitch to the medieval cross stitch. Commonly in modern cross stitch the pattern creates an elaborate scene usually with very life like human and animal figures. This is not commonly done in period embroideries. There were other techniques used in the SCA period to accomplish this. The common period use of cross stitch would be to depict geometric patterns, simple flowers (German piece), simple animal or human figures and heraldry. In period pieces there is not a lot of shading or ½ stitches to round corners. I also do not notice the modern practice of outlining in contrasting back stitch in extant works. Also the pattern would not be charted on a piece paper to be referenced as the piece was worked. Many times the pattern was drawn on in pencil. Pattern books did not start to emerge from until the beginning of the 16th century. I think this paragraph would support your translation. |

SCA فترة "أس.س.أى" ---فترة

The SCA is the Society for Creative Anachronism, which is a group dedicated to researching and recreating pre-17th-century history in the present. We concentrate on the European Middle Ages and Renaissance but other cultures and earlier time periods are also studied and recreated.
Many groups meet weekly, and at these meetings we dance, talk, study, learn, revel, and make plans. But first, let's get a little bit of info about the SCA in general.
What is "Anachronism"?
An "Anachronism" is something that is out of its proper time frame. "Creative Anachronism" takes the best qualities of the Middle Ages and Selectively re-creates them in the modern world.
What is the SCA?
The avowed purpose of the SCA is the study and recreation of the European Middle Ages, its crafts, sciences, arts, traditions, literature, etc. The SCA "period" is defined to be Western civilization before 1600 AD, concentrating on the Western European High Middle Ages. Under the aegis of the SCA we study dance, calligraphy, martial arts, cooking, metal work, stained glass, costuming literature... well, if they did it, somebody in the SCA does it.
As you can probably guess, the thing that separates the SCA from a Humanities 101 class is the active participation in the learning process. To learn costuming, you design and build costumes. To learn SCA infantry fighting, you make armor, weapons, shields, etc., and put them on and go learn how it feels to wear them when somebody is swinging a (rattan) sword at you. To learn brewing, you make (and sample!) your own wines, meads and beers.
You will frequently hear a SCA person describe the SCA as recreating the Middle Ages "as they ought to have been." In some ways this is true -- we have few plagues, indoor plumbing, few peasants. In the dead of winter we have other things to eat than King's venison, salted pork and dried tubers. However, a better description is that we are selectively recreating medieval culture, choosing elements of the culture that interest and attract us.

hc_ha I appreciate your comments however the term SCA period is intrinsically linkled with the organisation and any translation should make reference to this. In the context given above '...used in the period covered by the SCA' then this is where the name of the organisation should be used. If you were to follow the name with the initials then on future translations of the term SCA period you could translate as you have suggested. Remember the term SCA period is only defined by the organisation as recreating the best bits of pre 17th century europe. It is not used as a historical term to describe the period itself.

: A friendly reminder: the term of " SCA period" is not confined to that society, but defined defined to be Western civilization before 1600 AD. Thanks!

but it is only defined to be western civilization before 1600AD due to the existence of the organisation and the term comes from the abbreviation of the org's name. It is not a term in common use in the UK to define the period unless with ref to the org
