Historical interest of a singular educational institution. The Conciliar Seminary of San Miguel de Pamplona and its library

Abstract

The article presents some of the points of interest that the historian can find in the study of an institution such as the Conciliar Seminary of San Miguel de Pamplona. Founded in 1777 by the bishop Juan Lorenzo de Irigoyen in order to welcome the aspirants to the priesthood and offer them the pertinent formation. It has constituted for almost two centuries the main educational center of Navarre. In the last thirty years five doctoral theses have been dedicated to investigate diverse aspects of the historical trajectory of the Seminar. The rich Library of the Seminary, which houses among other funds the books of the former College of the Jesuits, still awaits a study.
