^ The libretto is stated to have been derived from della Valle's own play Anna Erisso (1820) but may have come from Romani's libretto Maometto (1817) for Peter von Winter. Others have erroneously stated Voltaire's Le Fanatisme ou Mahomet le Prophète as a potential source.
^ The opera was originally intended for performance in Vienna.
^ The libretto may also have been derived from one by Metastasio, which Rossi used for Semramide riconosciuta by Giacomo Meyerbeer.
