| − | 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 (1759-1778). (According to the ''Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani''[http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/antonio-mattiuzzi_(Dizionario_Biografico)/], this was 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 for the King at Versailles on 31 December 1773, and in Paris at the Theatre Italienne in 1774. 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.

| − | A [[Dutch]] version of ''[[I Tre Gemelli Veneziani]]'' was published in Utrecht in 1799, possibly based on the published French version.
