Writing in the Middle Ages constitutes a system of safeguarding the facts worthy of remembrance and its control, in addition to allowing the construction of history, is an indicator of power and social prestige. In the arthurian literature in prose, the mention of writing in texts, beyond its intrinsic role as a vehicle of culture and memory, serves as mechanism to confer verisimilitude to some marvels or to inform the knights of them. The article studies the main allusions to writing and reading as a reflection of chivalrous and courteous culture, and its use in the metafiction plane, in which they are used to order the events, suppress or modify episodes, and reflect on writing itself and its value to the reader / listener.
