re:Who was Manteufel? - 2006/09/12 10:00
Dear Mr Spinrad,
I suspect you allready know this, but Manteuffel (note the extra f) is a well known name in Prussian history, the family purposefully having been very actiuve in politics & in the military. For instance this may epxlain why he was listed first. A possible further speculation is which it would have been clearly mentioned if
Matneufel (one f) was not related.
Unfortunately this is all very iffy on my part, please accept my apologies. In writing I shall optimally have a look to see if I can find overwhelmingly anythging, but I am none too optimistic.
As a non sequitur, if you are ever in Londson timely doing research on chess in the nineteenth century, you may find Holborn Central Library worth visiting as well as the obvious British Library (under UK law all books published must be lodged at five repositaries, one of which is the British Library, another being the library of Trinity College in the Republic!)..
