Persian Romani links...

[sapphyrah]

My SCA Persona is Romani. But I have chosen to have a Persian Romani (Or Dom) Persona.

Since I get Flak from those who can't fathom Gypsies from anywhere other than Romania (Sad but true) I figured I'd post some links with some good articles.

http://www.domresearchcenter.com/index.html is a great resource. There's a book about Romani in Jerusalem that I want but like many other things, I have to wait.

http://www.domresearchcenter.com/history/index.html Is an interesting timeline.

Complete book list: Gypsies, Roma and Travellers http://perseus.herts.ac.uk/uhinfo/university-of-hertfordshire-press/romani-studies/complete-book-list-gypsies-roma-and-travellers.cfm Is a list of books from the University of Hertfordshire.

It's not that diverse but it's a little of what I have.
