Hello,
I am an American Graduate Student doing a project/paper on Frederick II. I would like very much to obtain English translations of the letters contained in the work of Huillard-Breholles. Do you have your translation available for purchase? Thank You!
Unfortunately not – I wish I did. What I would recommend is searching them out on Archive.org and then perhaps running them through Google translate which now incorporates Latin I believe. It’s my ambition someday to translate these letters, but simply haven’t had the time.
