See Agnelli-Ravegnani, "Annals of the Ariosto Editions", v. 2, p. 101.

Comedy by Lodovico Ariosto entitled Li Soppositi, Venice, Agustino de Bendoni, 1542.

PP.: 32 (numbered only on the recto). The original title page is missing, replaced by a facsimile copy, otherwise COMPLETE (the text on the verso of the title page is missing).
