Naturally! :) But even Voltaire kept his RPF historical, not contemporary. (Well, on that Occasion.)
Incidentally, Ziebura quotes Valori's memoirs a couple of times, but they don't seem to have been published in German. In French, they were published by his descendant in 1820 in two volumes. Valori is respsonsible for one back then often quoted bonmot about Fritz: "Il n'est guère possible d'avoir plus d'esprit, et il est très possible d'en faire un meilleur usage." I wonder whether that got him the dubious honor of starring in the Palladion together with Darget?
