Resumo: | With the arrival of the Society of Jesus to Portugal in 1540, Jesuit schools were created by the Crown. The College of St. Anthony, in Lisbon, was the first Jesuit educational institution, created in 1553. We propose a discussion of the main objectives, characteristics and difficulties of the Jesuit religious order in the Portuguese territory, as well as a presentation of one of the most important classes of this College: the ‘Class of the Sphere’. The priests considered fundamental to teach issues related to mathematics and astronomy, because, through these disciplines, they addressed the theory and practice of items and concepts, such as the telescope, logarithms, equations, geometry and others. The curriculum of this college included, in addition to science and mathematics, subjects such as: Latin, Grammar, Humanities, Rhetoric, and Introduction to Moral Theology, Dogmatic Theology and Philosophy, considered only to teaching in the Portuguese context. Studying the College of St. Anthony helps us to understand how these innovations were considered in teaching, in the Jesuit case, in the temporal context of Portugal in the 16th century. We understand that the College, mainly by innovations, was essential to the development of science. |

Con la llegada de la Compañía de Jesús a Portugal, en 1540, pasan a ser creados, por la Corona, los colegios jesuíticos. El Colegio de Santo Antão, en Lisboa, fue la primera institución educacional de los jesuitas, creado en 1553. Proponemos una discusión de los principales objetivos, de las características y de las dificultades de la orden religiosa jesuítica en el territorio portugués, así como una presentación de una de las clases más importantes de este Colegio: ‘Aula da Esfera’. Los padres consideraban fundamental la enseñanza, enaquel Colegio, de cuestiones relacionadas a las matemáticas ya la astronomía, pues, por medio de estas asignaturas, trataban de la teoría y la práctica de ítems y de conceptos, como el telescopio, los logaritmos, las ecuaciones, la geometría, entre otras. Los programas escolares de este centro de enseñanza incluían, además de las Ciencias y Matemáticas, asignaturas como: Latín, Gramática, Humanidades, Retórica e introducciones a la Teología Moral, la Teología Dogmática y la Filosofía, consideradas únicas a la enseñanza en el contexto portugués. Estudiar el Colegio de Santo Antão nos ayuda también a comprender cómo eran consideradas esas innovaciones en la enseñanza, en el caso jesuítico, en la coyuntura temporal de Portugal en el siglo XVI. Entendemos que el Colegio, principalmente por las innovaciones, fue esencial para el desarrollo de la ciencia portuguesa.Com a chegada da Companhia de Jesus a Portugal, em 1540, passam a ser criados pela Coroa os colégios jesuíticos.
