This article appears in Volume V19, Page 13 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MUNTANER, RAMON (1265-1336?) , Catalan historian, was born at Peralada (Catalonia) in 1265. The
chief
  events of his career are recorded in his chronicle. He accompanied Roger de Flor to Sicily in 1300, was present at the siege of Messina, served in the expedition of the Almogavares against
Asia
 
Minor
 , and became the first
governor
  of Gallipoli. Later he was appointed
governor
  of
Jerba
  or Zerbi, an
island
  in the Gulf of
Gabes
 , and finally entered the service of the infante of
Majorca
 . On the 15th of May 1325 (some editions give the year 1335) he began his Chronica, o descripcio dels Pets, e hazanas del inclyt sey Don laume Primer, in obedience, as he says, to the express command of God who appeared to him in a vision.
Muntaner
 's book, which was first printed at Valencia in 1558, is the
chief
  authority for the events of his period, and his narrative, though occasionally prolix, uncritical and egotistical, is faithful and vivid. He is said to have died in 1336.
His chronicle is most accessible in the edition published by Karl Lanz at
Stuttgart
  in 1544.
