Een Hedendaagsch Duel ("a contemporary duel") is a dramatic sketch by "Giuseppe"

The original text

The only reference to be found is the one in Bosman (1980). It may perhaps have been a Dutch 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]
