 A [[Dutch]] version of  ''[[Le Médecin Malgré Lui]]'' by Molière, performed in Cape Town in 1834 and 1843 and Stellenbosch in 1835.
-The name is written in varied ways in sources, including ''[[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.
