Catalan term or phrase: ens el va encomanar l’Aladern
I don't understand who is doing what here with the pronouns. This should be pretty simple, but I just can't figure it out. I¡ve included the whole paragraph for context.


Va congregar al seu voltant, tant a Reus com a Barcelona, una gran quantitat d’escriptors, sobre alguns dels quals va exercir una profunda influència, tal com ho testimonien L’assaig de la vida, de Plàcid Vidal, Camins de França, de Joan Puig i Ferreter i les memòries de Miquel Ventura. Sobretot els del grup reusenc, en van reconèixer el mestratge durant tota la vida. Joan Puig i Ferreter amb frases com “L’encontre amb aquest home fou decisiu per a la meva vocació literària”, i Pere Cavallé amb afirmacions similars: “Aquest neguit d’escriure, que no ens ha deixat mai més, ens el va encomanar l’Aladern”.

"This interest in writing, that has never left us ever since, has been entrusted to us by Aladern"
