Contents
The original text
The only reference to be found is the one in Bosman (1980). Since Bosman lists it as a "dramatiese skets" by a "Giuseppe", it is probably a Dutch burlesque version of Il Duello al Buio ("The duel in the dark") a melodrama in two acts with a Italian libretto by Giuseppe Checcherini (1777–1840)[1], which was published by Tipografia Flautina in 1835[2]
