Cimarosa, Domenico. (1749-1801). 18th Century Manuscript of the Libretto of his opera “Il Morbo Campano.” . A working manuscript, entitled "Il Campano Dramma Giocoso...", apparently the text for the complete opera in three acts, with a list of "Personaggi" and a "Protesto dell' Autore" preceding Act I, containing a number of cancellations, revisions and alterations.

...Maestro della Musica Sigr. Cima=Rossa Napolitano_Compositori de' Balli Monsieur Varolé..._Protesta dell' Autore = Le parole Idolo, Fato, Bacco, Numi, Mettere, Membro, Fottere, e simili sono frasi Poetiche, e non gia espressioni di buon Religioso come si professa l'Autore...

60 pages, including title, plus blanks, 4vo (25.7 x 18.5cm), later manuscript annotations to title, later binding, no place or date, leading edge of title repaired on verso. This is an apparently unrecorded manuscript source for Cimarosa's dramma giocosa "Il morbo campano," first performed at Chiavenna in 1782. The author of the opera's libretto is unknown. A number of the corrections to the libretto suggest a working manuscript, raising the possibility that this may be in the hand of the author of the libretto.
