This article examines the history of the Catalan public notary in order to review some of the most important elements in the development of the notarial institution in Catalonia. This review will also allow us to detect the gaps in this history and to suggest some mechanisms to fill them. We establish a periodisation to facilitate the analysis of the evolution of the Catalan notary. This allows us to study the origins of the notarial institution in depth and to see how it has been treated by the various authors who have studied the topic.
