Hey, my name is Niek, and I am a newbie, when it comes to Mastodon or social media in general. By engaging with this platform, I hope to find more individuals who share similar interests. In layman’s terms, I am somebody who loves to talk about medieval manuscripts and her magnificent languages, modern-day dictionaries and etymologies, almost all genres of English literature (but a massive Gothic fan and author) and world history! #introduction #history #medieval
