De Man in Drie Gedaanten, of De Balling

De Man in Drie Gedaanten, of De Balling ("The man in three guises, or the exile") is a Dutch version of L'homme à Trois Visages, ou Le Proscrit ("The man with three faces, or the exile"), Pixérécourt's three act French adaptation of Abällino, der Grosse Bandit ("Abällino the Great Bandit"), a German 5-act German tragedy by Heinrich Zschokke (1771 - 1848)[1]

There is also a satirical work entitled De Man in Vier Gedaanten, of Musicus, Acteur, Gaskonjer en Taalmeester ("The man in three guises, or musician, actor, Gascon and language teacher") by Joseph Suasso de Lima, listed in an advert in the South African Chronicle of 15 June 1825 as one of a series to be published by subscription. Entirely unrelated to this work, though the title was obviously chosen in imitation of this play's title.
