I saw! (Belatedly.) My German is very very minimal, like 1% on a scale of 0% to 100%. I have a bit of grammar but very little vocabulary, unless that vocabulary pertains specifically to Katte's execution. :P
They need to make the catalog browsable, seriously. How am I supposed to guess at what Fritz had in his library?
I did see that M was responsible for the Fritz/Voltaire prompt and only sorry we couldn't deliver in time!
Or at the very least it could be turned into an abstract for getting-hold-of-primary-materials purposes.
I think we could write an abstract! I mean, I do suspect the textual criticism work is original and could be turned into something publishable, though I would definitely need a German co-author, for things like the literature survey, and inspecting primary materials. :D
Can I get an invite/link to the fic research discord? That sounds potentially interesting. I mean, even Napoleonic war uniforms are not too far outside my wheelhouse, especially high school me's wheelhouse. I was big into military history--that's how I got into Fritz--studied Napoleon (have forgotten almost all of what I know), and am all about nitty-gritty details like uniforms. (I read muster rolls for fun in high school, I was weird.) I have a book on Fritz's army's uniforms on my wishlist for when my health is better, because it came up during my Yuletide research (the dogs fic I wrote for Madness). I ended up picking something and going with it, but I'd still like to know in more detail.
Idt cahn is on there, though — I am also not sure if she’s lying low waiting for a lull in all these separate conversations on her doorstep ;)
Atm she's on a ski trip for the holidays. I think today is her last day, and then she'll be back and commenting. She's currently got a text file of the textual criticism write-up that I sent her, because it's easier to navigate than DW when you're on the slopes away from home. :P She's also got a copy of the Wilhelmine-Fritz correspondence in machine translation that I sent her, of which I'm very proud. :D
