Misc. Notes:

"Chrysander's edition of the 1712 version is generally reliable except for matters of detail (though it does not indicate that the aria 'Ho un non so che nel cor' for Dorinda in Act 3 is an addition – surely an unhappy one – probably made during the 1712 run" (Source: The New Grove Dictionary of Opera)
