Starost Lakeiski en de familie Adelpoort. Opmerkingen over enkele plaatsen in Langendijks Wederzijds huwelijksbedrog

Abstract

Recently, Anna S. de Haas published a new edition of Pieter Langendijk's comedy Het wederzijds huwelijksbedrog. Although her commentary is very elucidating, a few problems remained unsolved, especially concerning the (false) names and titles of Jan, one of the protagonists. As in this article is proved, these name and titles refer to poverty and bad behaviour. Langendijk often uses `speaking names'.
