Eopipore, ou La Resurrection

Eopipore, ou La Resurrection ("Eopipore, or The resurrection") is a comedy in three acts by an anonymous author, possibly someone called Sire Barago.

The original text

Neither the play nor the author can be traced in any other source than F.C.L. Bosman (1928: p. 126), based on a newspaper advert from the Kaapsche Courant of 21 June, 1809. It was offered there as a work "translated and turned into verse by C.E. Boniface". He actually lists two plays (Eopipore, ou La Resurrection and Le Marriage de Biribi) on page 126, but in his corrections however, Bosman adds the title Eopipore, ou La Resurrection to the list of translations by Boniface, attributing it to Barago and indicating that it was produced produced in 1809 . No mention of a translation entitled Le Marriage de Biribi is given in this list.

What it could have been is that the two works were actually one play, entitled something like Eopipore, ou La Resurrection et Le Marriage de Biribi("Eopipore, or The resurrection" and the marriage of Biribi) - though no play by such a name can be traced either.
