 As the title itself indicates, more than a bare chronicle, the "Llibre dels fets" is in fact a "Book of Deeds".Studies conducted in the 1980s concluded that this medieval manuscript is of an undefined literary style, since it was dictated entirely orally.James I of Aragon, a cultivated man, dictated the entire book to royal scribes, who at that point in history commonly performed the labour of actually writing the king's words with pen on paper.
