The Österreichische Nationalbibliothek has a copy of the Commedie in versi del sig. Abate Pietro Chiari. Vol. 5 (Bologna, 1760) includes La nuora sagace. Comparison of the list of characters with those in La nuera sagaz suggests that Chiari's piece was the source. Digitized by the Biblioteca de Catalunya. Email communication from D.W. Cruickshank.
