I've made a start on this one. Needs a synopsis and an account of its importance in the history of opera. Bristoleast 12:03, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Moved back to this title as it is the original and most common name. Per guidelines at WP:WPO there is no need to invent a translation. Grove gives this, the French, as does Orrey. Moreschi Deletion! 12:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
No problem. It's not an invention, "The Village Soothsayer" is commonly used in many academic works[1] (including Harvard professor Leo Damrosch's 2006 biography "Restless Genius"), but the French seems to be the more common usage. -- Stbalbach 16:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
