Joan Toralles

Joan Toralles was a Catalan author from Vic of a brief historical tract, the Noticiari ("Notices").

It is little more than a list of names, dates, places, and events, probably compiled largely from memory, covering the years from 1365 to 1427.

The gossipy nature of the tract leads Martí de Riquer i Morera to label Toralles as a representative of the vox populi of the early fifteenth century in Catalonia.

Despite the tract's brevity, Toralles displays a wide knowledge of current events, shrewdness, and capacity for concision.

[1] That Toralles hailed from Vic is corroborated by his deep knowledge of the geography of Osona.
