Bowle no doubt had in mind one of his most vicious enemies, Joseph
Baretti, also a translator of Spanish works into English. In Baretti's
work Tolondron. Speeches to John Bowle about his Edition of Don Quixote, Bowle is spared
no insult, including Baretti's accusation that he was unable to speak
Spanish, did not know Spanish grammar, and frequented taverns more often
than he should.
