Что то за волность? добро в ней какое?
Ины говорять, будто золотое.
Ах! не златое: если сравнить злато
Против волности, еще оно блато…
О когда б же мнѣ в дурнѣ не пошитись!
Дабы волности не могл как лишитись.
Будь славен вовѣк, ω муже избранне,
Вольности ωтче, Герою Богдане!
I'm a PhD. in medieval German literature. I originally joined to improve Wikipedia's coverage of that area, but I've since branched out into other fields, such as biblical and ancient history, as well as a small amount of linguistics.
My user name is taken from the medieval German form of the name of the ancient Gothic ruler Ermanaric (whenever there is an edit on that article I'm often confused and wonder why people are editing my user page). I originally wanted to join as Dietrich von Bern but that name was taken, so I took the name of his arch-nemesis.

The Editor's Barnstar
This barnstar is rewarded to you for your particularly fine contribution to the Huns article! You took what was a somewhat poorly organized article, and made it much more organized! You also helped start work in improving the citations on the page. It is now much more readable thanks to you! So here's a barnstar!--Beneficii (talk) 15:27, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
