Abstract
Further to the author’s recent book Dante in conclave. La lettera ai cardinali, this
article returns to the question of the controversial identity of the “Trasteverino”, who had been
attacked by Dante in Epistola XI, and provides new grounds why he should be identified with
Cardinal Matteo Rosso Orsini. The article also proposes to identify two references in the Letter,
hitherto gone unnoticed, to two sermons by the Florentine Dominican Remigio dei Girolami.
Such potential identification allows formulating further hypotheses and questions regarding
the biographical relationship between Dante and Remigio
