| Sumario: | Late was the appearance of the Chair of Sacred Scripture at the Javeriana University according to its founding schedule: in 1605 two grammar classes would be opened, the courses in Philosophy in 1608, those in Scholastic Theology and Moral Theology in 1612, around 1613 the Chair of indigenous language, the chair of Vespers around 1616, the chair of Medicine in 1636, the studies of Canons and Laws in 1706, and the chair of Sacred Scripture in 1722. The explanation of this phenomenon is offered by Fr. Gonzalo de Lyra, who in the Annua Letter of the years 1611 and 1612 writes that “instead of writing and Hebrew,” it is convenient that they study chibcha for being more useful to Jesuit theologians and clerics attending class. During the seventeenth century the teaching of this science was linked to the chair of Moral Theology. In 1722 the Belgian Jesuit Simón Vinans had assumed the responsibility of the chair. The operation was normal but we cannot offer a qualification because all documentation remains unpublished. |
