    I like language so it’s fun to see how close to and yet how far this still is from modern German but I’m losing hair over this guy’s choice of font hand writing.

    Auf aim(lolwat?) gheerwagen farn wir da hin

    zu schaermutzeln…

    aus … maximilian

    Got fugs das wir mit ern bestan

    They’re going somewhere on a wagon carrying weapons (nope, not “geer”, that’s “heer”, stop guessing) an army wagon to fight someone, probably for Maximilian (who seems to have owned this manuscript according to the additional data), and they’re petitioning God to make it so they do something (probably fight and get back home) win honourably.

    It’s like I’m so close to being able to read it and then it gives me squiggly nonsense lines and quirky spelling, just to trip up me specifically and in particular. /c/mildlyinfuriating

    Edit: three edits in, I’m on to you, Kumpel
