Zagadka towarzysza Torquata Tassa z medalionu biblioteki wilanowskiej

The author of this article argues that the hitherto interpretation of the inscription under the image of Torquato Tasso and his mysterious companion, who is identified as the little known painter Trevilius or an entirely unknown Treilius, results from an error. Hence, considering the character of the remaining medallions, especially those showing writers, the author puts forward the hypothesis that the name of Tasso’s companion is actually ‘Vergilius’, i.e. Virgil, only the word was distorted during conservation works.
