Hope this isn't too off topic. Anybody out there know where I might be able to download a copy (in English and/or Italian) of Sardou's play La Tosca, the source of the libretto for Puccini's Tosca? All I could find in a Google Books search was a partial view Italian reprint. Neither of the two recent scholoarly studies of Tosca reproduce it (even though discussion of it is central to both books). Surely it must be PD by now. And if a copy were available, it would make a nice additon to the IMSLP Tosca page.
