Summary/Abstract: In the old book fund at Bogdana Monastery (Bacău county), in the process of cataloguing, among many bibliophilic curiosities, there is a copy that we consider to be a typographic forgery. The tile page indicates that it is an Antologhion printed at Râmnic, in 1737, but it is not identical to the Antologhion from Râmnic known from that year (BRV II 215). Inside it, after the title, it continues with Minologhionul from Blaj, since 1781 (BRV II 448). We consulted the catalogues available, including the monography of the printing house (Gabriela Mircea) and we found no mention of it. The careful analysis of the two title pages (the fake and the genuine one) from a historic and bibliographic point of view, led us to identify another typographic forgery in Blaj.
