Het Misverstand, of Elk is Een Dief in Zijne Nering ("The Misunderstanding, or Everyone's calling is to be a thief") is a Dutch musical comedy by an anonymous author who signed the Foreword as "K", from the Dutch town Ouderkerk aan de Ijssel.
Referred to the second edition as "Door de schrijver van Willem van Focquenbroch ("by the author of Willem van Focquenbroch), which is also only signed by "K" however.
The original text
Published in Leiden 1811, a second printing by Leendert Herdingh en Zoon,1834.
Bosman (1928) throughout insists that the play performed in Cape Town under this name (idiosyncratically spelled Het Misverstand, of Elk is Een Dief in Zyn Neering or Het Misverstand, of Elk is Een Dief in Zyne Nering) is a Dutch translation from (an unknown) other language by van der Vyver. Probably a mistake.
