There are numerous corrections and alterations throughout in the hand of Minet in the form of additional and/or corrected text being added superscript. More extensive changes have been written on additional sheets of paper that have been stuck over the incorrect text with glue or sealing wax. A second, later hand has made further corrections to the text, adding revised sections above Minet’s lines. The same hand has added a note to the margin beside Zaïre’s speech at l.101-127 reading: ‘change p[our] Mlle Clairon’. This suggests that the later changes were made when Mlle Clairon took over the role of Zaïre, c.1756.
