Ah, I was in fact just familiar with the French name, thanks!

Oh wow, that would be interesting if Leopold had something about it. (Would it be in the book?)

(Note that Wolfgang was in Paris, trying in vain to make it as a young man where he's been feted as a miracle child, when Voltaire died, and wrote home to Dad an "yay, that bastard Voltaire is dead and burns in hell!" letter. Just as an example of how Catholic the Mozarts were, free masons or not.)

Oh, that's interesting!
