I haven't actually read it yet, but I had a gander at the passages dealing with what caused the search, to wit, the use of torture and the death penalty in 18th century Prussia.
That is really the only thing I was asking for--certainly not for the entire book! Anything beyond that is totally up to you and your interests and how engaging you find the book.
If there's anything about what happens to portraits of criminals executed in absentia, I remember prinzsorgenfrei was interested in the likely fate of Peter Keith's portrait! But I realize that's highly unlikely.
I haven't found anything in these pages more specific to whether or not the "sodomy" indicated as having been abolished included the m/m variety or not.
Yeah, what felis found, as I recall, was that the death penalty for m/m remained on the books (but unenforced) in Prussia until the 1795 reform. No idea about Lepsch.
*googles*
Bestiality, it looks like! "Viehische Sünde." At least according to my skimming of this 1733 pamphlet. Check out Schubert_Lepsch.pdf in the contemporary documents section of the library.
Okay, I really need to stop doing research and start doing work, it's Monday morning!
