| − | According to the published English text of 1806, the plot taken from the French comedy ''[[Les Trois Jumeaux Vénitiens]]'' by Antonio Collalto Matiuzzi (1717?-1778), as well as a Spanish comedy ''[[Los Tres Mellizos]]'', performed in Madrid in the late 1700s or early 1800s.

| − | In actual fact they are all basically the same play: ''[[I Tre Gemelli Veneziani]]'' by Antonio Collalto Matiuzzi. Originally written in Italian when Matiuzzi was at the Theatre Italien in Paris (1775-1778?). (It was apparently in its turn an adaptation of Goldoni’s play ''[[I Due Gemelli Veneziani]]'') Matiuzzi’s original was translated into French by P.-A. Lefèvre de Marcouville as ''[[Les Trois Jumeaux Vénitiens]]''; performed and published in Paris 1777, also in 1792. Apparently translated into Spanish by an unknown author, as ''[[Los tres mellizos]]'', and performed in Madrid under that title. Hoare had access - directly or indirectly - to at least the plots of both the French and Spanish versions.
