The only guitar folia setting I can think of after the early nineteenth-century is Llobet's use of Sor's setting for his own variations (Coste set the Romanesca, of course). In addition the those listed on the Folia site (very impressive!) - and it isn't possible to tell from the wrappers - I wouldn't be at all surprised if B. Vidal had published a guitar setting in Paris during the closing decades of the 18th C. (but so little of his music has survived). I also think there might be something in the Russian repertoire, but I'm sorry I don't have time to look at the moment.
