Here I found an interesting Article by David Craig about where Lisa Pascal (and all the other Apple Pascal version) came from: https://www.applefritter.com/content/brief-history-apple-computer%E2%80%99s-work-pascal-language https://www.applefritter.com/content/brief-history-apple-com... Where Apple II and III Pascal was based on UCSD Pascal, Lisa Pascal was apparently directly based on Wirth's P4 compiler, not on UCSD Pascal. See page 4.

Great reference! Terrific to have a semi-original source, thoug I wish it included more detail and references. > Therefore, Lisa Pascal lasted from 1981 to 1986, an eternity in the field of microcomputer languages. ;-) > Tho (sic) Pascal will have the support of a small but vocal minority at Apple, C/C++ will be the dominant language for Apple and outsiders for the next decade. RIP Pascal, you will not be forgotten - and you will live on as Delphi.
