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.
