„Friedrich liebte den schönen,, umgänglichen und klugen Mann von Anfang an bis zu dessen Tod mit immer gleichbleibender Kraft.“ And „Am 9. April 1757 schied Fredersdorff (here spelled with two f) auf eigenen Wunsch aus dem Amt.“
YES! I just get excited every time you find another source that doesn't back up this embezzlement thing :)
Yes, Italian. Maledetto!
OK, this is not great for our sensationalist scholarly work (although you seem to be doing great judging from the downstream comments) but I have to say I laughed really hard at this.
The preface is in German, and btw quotes an extremely complimentary remark by Lehndorff on him, properly footnoted, which is how I learn Lehndorff‘s retirement diaries were published as well by the same editor as his chamberlain years ones, in Gotha 1921. (Apparantely WWI didn‘t stop the 1907 readers from demanding more Lehndorff, and post WWI, Schmidt-Lötzen obliged. I sympathize, early 20th century readers.)
:D I also sympathize, early 20th century readers!! :D (I had assumed that no one would be interested in his retirement diaries!)
I don't think we knew he had retirement diaries? But I always figured that someone who keeps constant diaries doesn't just stop because he retires and... has more free time?? :D

Re: Assistant librarian requests
Man, those early 20th century readers had at least one priority straight. I like to imagine them all chanting in unison.
"More Lehndorff! Give us more Lehndorff! Lehndorff! Lehndorff! He's our man!"

She is, and also we have selections in German now! Librarian + reader = sensational team. :D

Re: Assistant librarian requests
That's awesome that they were published. You go, 20th century readers!
(I don't even know if they have more than two things of interest to us, I just love the idea. And maybe they're full of gold, who knows!)
