This article argues for the identification of Ramon Boter, author of seven poems copied in the central witness to fifteenth-century Catalan poetry the Cançoner de París (BnF, esp. 225) with a knight from Cagliari belonging to a family of Catalan descent that settled in Sardinia after the Catalan-Aragonese conquest. An additional identification of the lady sung by the poet ('senyora Caterina') with Caterina of Sena, viscountess of Sanluri, allows the author of the article to sketch the existence of a Sardinian court a reflection of the courts of Alfonso and John of Trastámara in Barcelona, València, Saragossa, and Naples that produced and consumed literature in Catalan. This Sardinian location of both poet Ramon Boter and the literary circle of the viscount of Sanluri entails a reassessment of the linguistic and cultural history of Sardinia.
