Re: His Name is Diable. Le Diable: Bad Times

BTW, the Manteuffel/Wolff correspondence is bilingual, in that Manteuffel writes French and Wolff writes German

And as noted, this is what I would have naively assumed Fredersdorf and Fritz would start doing, so the fact that Fritz keeps writing (bad) German to him to the end is very touching.

again I say: if you're a teacher and have seen how Fritz' teachers have faired, what would you do?

I'm with you on this!

So much that it's even included in the blurb printed on the back of the "Kampf um Kronprinz Friedrich" book - ...(Bronisch) solves the mystery of the naming of "Sanssouci"....

*spittake*

Was he really the first person who published this? You mentioned it to us back in January 2020, but I'm not sure what your source was.

But, Bronisch, have you solved the *real* mystery, aka the mystery of the comma in "sans, souci.", which has been bugging people for centuries?

[personal profile] cahn, if you're not familiar, this picture shows the way Fritz had the phrase engraved on his palace.
