[The Navarran Protomedicato Tribunal: itinerary of research]

In this paper we report the methodology used to study the Protomedicato in Navarre. We considered the particular situation of the Kingdom of Navarre from the 16th to the 19th centuries, when it maintained its statutes as an independent kingdom, and studied the Protomedicato by examining the documentary archives of other administrative and political institutions of the kingdom. Noteworthy among these institutions is the Brotherhood of Physicians, Surgeons and Apothecaries of Pamplona, which influenced the evolution of the Protomedicato.
