| − | ''[[Der Krumme Teufel]]'' ("The Lame Devil" or "The Limping Devil") is a ''Singspiel''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singspiel] in two acts by Joseph Felix von Kurz (1717-1784)[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Felix_von_Kurz], with music by Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Haydn]. First performed ca. 1751, but banned after 2 performances, but was performed again in 1752, and a revised version, ''[[Der Neue Krumme Teufel]]'' ("The Return of the Lame Devil" or literally "The New Limping Devil"), was performed in 1757 or 1758, and published ca. 1760.

| − | [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1928[http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/bosm012dram01_01/]: p. 129) suggests that the 1770 text may possibly have been translated into French as ''[[Asmodée, ou La Philosophie du Díable]]'' for performance in South Africa. However, see also '''''[[Asmodée, ou La Philosophie du Díable]]'''''.
