Stokowa to "Collected Works" (Kr. 1967, vol. 15, vol. 1, p. 9): "The title page and other details of this edition, which appeared in July 1901, are no different from the pdr. [it appeared at the end of April or the first days of May 1901]; the message that this is the second edition is placed only on the cover. Other than that, the distinguishing detail is the number of numbered pages and the note on p. 229: 'Played at the Lviv theater for the first time on May 24, 1901 with a cast of roles as follows ---' - the cast list of the Lviv premiere is given here."
