Yes, but this is more of a diary then a history log. There are more of his personal thoughts then actual detiels in the events and it is written more for himself then for other readers. Why would he put the part in about the Totel Codex for example. He was probably told not to read it, but he did. That means he wouldn't write it down in a history log to be punished by his superiors.
Also, it appears that most warriors don't live long since there seems to be constant battles and we've heard hints that the legion is constantly recruiting new soldiers (or else I can't imagine them using 14 year olds or whatever it was) What I am getting at is that the narrator is more then likely not a high command of any sort (or he'd make refrences like "my men...") yet his voice seems... old. Not so old as to be bedstricken, but old none the less. This supports the historian theory, but then it also supports this: What if the Myth story is being told rather then being written. Someone found this journal and is now reading it to someone who is perhaps... you. You are imagining the fighting and in your mind you create the fighting and the action scenes. The only way I can prove this is the fact that the narrator is not seen in the game and the narrator seems rather old. (this is in my opinion mind you all.)
