Portuguese jesuits ans science: continuities and ruptures (16th-18th centuries)

We present here in synthesis of the action of the Jesuits in Portugal in science since its entry in Portugal in 1540 until their expulsion by the Marquis of Pombal in 1759. The rapid expansion of its network of schools in the country and around the world, including Brazil, India, China and Japan, wa...

The rapid expansion of its network of schools in the country and around the world, including Brazil, India, China and Japan, was extraordinary. The College of Arts in Coimbra produced between 1592 and 1606 a set of commentaries on Aristotle that spread in the Jesuit colleges. On the other hand, in the College of Santo Antão in Lis-bon, there was, from 1590 to 1759, a school of mathematics, called the Aula da Esfera, served by a some foreign teachers, for example the Italian Christophoro Borri. Those teachers who have brought not only to Portugal but also to places, even the the most remot, of the empire the astronomical observation techniques introduced by Galileo, extending the Scientific Revolution to a global scale. The Astronomical Observatory and the “Mathematical Court” in the Chinese imperial court was the exponent of this action. In the middle of the 18th century, pressured by the crown supported anti-jesuitism, his action was strongly countered. Despite accusations of being scientific out-dated, it is certain that some Jesuits like Father Inacio Monteiro, should be considered modern. The extinction of the Order left a void in the Portuguese education system that the Pombaline Reform of the University of Coimbra only partially filled. Apresenta-se, em resumo, a ação dos Jesuítas em Portugal no domínio da ciência, desde a sua entrada em Portugal, no ano de 1540, até à sua expulsão pelo Marquês de Pombal, em 1759. Foi extraordinária a rápida expansão da sua rede de colégios no país e em todo o mundo, incluindo o Brasil, a Índia, a China e o Japão. O Colégio das Artes em Coimbra produziu, entre 1592 e 1606, um conjunto de comentários a Aristóteles que se espalhou nos colégios jesuítas. Por outro lado, no Colégio de S. Antão em Lisboa, funcionou, de 1590 a 1759, uma escola de matemática, intitulada a Aula da Esfera, servida por alguns professores estrangeiros, por exemplo, o italiano Christophoro Borri. Foram esses mestres que trouxeram, não só para Portugal, como também para vários lugares, mesmo os mais remotos do império, as técnicas de observação astronómica introduzidas por Galileu, alargando à escala global a Revolução Científica. O Observatório Astronómico e o Tribunal da Matemática na corte imperial chinesa foram o expoente dessa ação. A meio do século XVIII, pressionados pelo antijesuitismo apoiado pela coroa, a sua ação foi fortemente contrariada. Apesar das acusações de desatualização científica, o certo é que alguns Jesuítas, como o padre Inácio Monteiro, não podem deixar de ser considerados modernos.  A extinção da Ordem deixou um vazio no sistema de ensino português, o qual a Reforma Pombalina da Universidade de Coimbra só em parte preencheu.
