A Dutch version of a play by Molière, performed in Cape Town in 1834 and 1843 and Stellenbosch in 1835.
There are a number of uncertainties about the translation of this play.
For example the name is written in varied ways, for example in F.C.L. Bosman (1928 pp. 255, 322 and 444) it appears variously as De Wonder Doctor, De Wonderdoctor and De Wonder Docter, of Le Médecin Malgré Lui (whether this was the way it appeared in Bosman's sources , and/or if this was sloppiness by Bosman himself is uncertain.)
The name of the original French play is similarly a source of uncertainty, for the tiotle giv en by Bosman op page 444 suggests that it is actually a Dutch translation of Le Médecin Malgré Lui ("Doctor in spite of Himself"), but another candidate would also be Le Médecin volant ("The Flying Doctor") by Molière.
