Abstract


By means of this article we intend to asses the attention paid, during the reign of D. Juan III (1521-1557), to the health professionals, and specifically to the pharmacists. With this aim, we will focus on the survey letters^ which allow us to have an idea about the gegraphical distribution of the pharmacist. Other elements, particularly the chemist's shop, and the social importance of this agents will be highlighted, in so far as the sources so permit, regarding the continent and the Portuguese expansion areas, as the North of Africa and the East.
