A list of the books would be nice. The only things I have located are a few
on the Fuggers including the Fugger correspondence, which I don't think has
been translated either. The three primary branches of the Fugger family
became nobles and are still around, but I haven't found out what happened to
the Welsers and the Hochsetters .
The economic histories, which is where I have found most of the information,
seem to only cover the men. I'm also curious about a Fugger cookbook. I've
seen one recipe which purports to be from it, but I haven't found other
references. You come across any?
I haven't encountered the von Huttons, so what's their story?
