The original text

Published by L'Esclapart (La Haye and et Paris) in 1764.

1809: Performed in Cape Town as a ballet in two acts, apparently announced as Ulysses op het Eiland van Circé, by a company of young people from the colony, probably adapted by their teacher. The presentation, on 23 October, accompanied by the three act tragedy Le Comte de Comminge, ou Les Amans Malheureux (D'Arnaud), was done as a benefit for local Widow in straitened circumstances.

1809: Repeated by the same company, but now expanded to a ballet in three acts, though still with the title Ulysses op het Eiland van Circé, as another benefit for the same Widow. Most probably with the same accompanying play.
