Boccaccio, Giovanni Il Decamerone.. nuovamente corretto et con diligentia stampato Firenze [i.e., Venice]: Li heredi di Philippo di Giunta [i.e. Angiolo Pasinello for Stefano Orlandelli], [colophon: 1527, ie. 1729]. Large 8vo, woodcut device on title and at end, ? early 19th century vellum gilt, g.e. Footnote: Note: By the 18th century the Giunta edition of 1527 had achieved the state of being a highly collectable rarity and demand led to the printing of this forgery. Pasinello, who printed it for Stefano Orlandelli at the request of the English consul, Joseph Smith, did a good job of matching types and even reproducing the printer's device, which appears on the title-page. However folios 42, 102, and 108 are correctly numbered in the 1729 forgeries, but in the true 1527 edition the numbers are incorrectly numbered 24, 101, and 168.
