| − | Denis Carolet's parody version of ''[[Le Rival de Lui-même]]'' appears to have been the text translated/adapted into [[Dutch]] as ''[[De Medeminnaar van Zichzelven]]'' (lit. "the co-lover of himself", i.e. "his own rival") by Marten Westerman (1775-1852)[http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/aa__001biog24_01/aa__001biog24_01_0379.php]. Described as a [[vaudeville]] or "blyspel met zang in één bedryf" (a "comedy in one act with singing"), the text was published in Rotterdam by J. Hofhout en Zoon, 1800 and by J.C. van Kesteren in 1820. No author given in the latter case, though the Google E-book version lists it as a work by Carolet.
