BOCCACE, Jean. Il Decameron di M. Giovanni Boccacio nuovamente corretto et con diligentia stampato. Firenze, Filippo di Giunta, 1527 [Venice, Stefano Orlandelli, 1729]. 1 vol. large in-8. Vintage vellum, handwritten title and dates on the spine. Printer's mark on the title page repeated in the colophon. Beautiful reprint of the famous edition of 1527, made under the same date, in Venice, in 1729 at Pasinello, by Etienne Orlandini, and at the expense of Salvatore Ferrari. Only the correction of three pagination errors, and some typographical changes mentioned by Brunet allow to recognize the forgery. Only 300 copies were printed. Ex-libris C. H. St John Hornby. A good copy. Small marginal wetness on some leaves. Brunet, I, 999.
