This is the handwriting of renowned historian Theodor Mommsen @subugoe. I‘m a trained palaeographer and I can’t read it - not without spending a long time working out the individual letters. But native German speakers who have seen this type of writing before have much less trouble. Cursive is all about exposure! @histodons @medievodons @historikerinnen

@litteracarolina @subugoe @histodons @medievodons @historikerinnen 💯 👍 Beautiful, neat but nonetheless illegible writing is so frustrating!
