The original text
The work is a translation from an unnamed French original, and the actual author is uncertain, it could be either the civil servant and writer Eloi Willem Färber (1832-**), or the actor Willem Färber, (1855-1946[1]).
The Dutch play appears to have been prepared specifically for the Rederijkers and was published in Amsterdam by G. Theod. Bom in 1868.
