Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / the 1500\'s
Italian term or phrase: opere pseudoaretiniane
Detto questo, nelle pagine seguenti ci soffermeremo su alcune delle **opere pseudoaretiniane** che hanno goduto di buon successo editoriale, con la premessa che si tratta di testi prevalentemente di natura erotica, a stampa, pubblicati perlopiù a Venezia e prodotti da altri sulla scorta degli scritti *aretiniani* più provocatori.

This is in a lengthy essay about Pietro Aretino - Luckily I don't have to try to translate what is quoted from "period" Italian.

Does anyone have a good idea?
Thanks

agree  BdiL: BTW, I agree with Rachel Fell on capitalization. In my opinion, more someone thought to be (supposedly) Pietro Aretino or even better, writing in his style but without a sure attribution. Maurizio
