Such period, called by Alves de Mattos (1958) of Heroic Period, which goes from the arrival of the first missionaries and educators in 1549 up to Manuel da Nóbrega s death in Rio de Janeiro in 1570, is depicted in Letters written by Nóbrega. Nóbrega exchanged, since his arrival to Baía de Todos os Santos, Brazil on March 29th, 1549, numerous letters with his Ordination superiors both in Portugal and Rome, and reported, in details, the first educational attempts in Brazil during 16th Century. Such actions were fostered by the experience of associating the Christian doctrine teaching (catechetical instruction) with literacy, i.e., reading and writing (regular instruction). The mission consisted of disseminating Christian faith over the extensive Portuguese dominions, while introducing the reading and writing school as a vehicle to teach the Christian doctrine. Therefore, this paper starts with the theoretical grounds provided by the Linguistic Ideas History that guides this work, and goes on, considering, in Chapter Two, the members of Society of Jesus and the Missionary Order. Chapter Three introduces Manuel da Nóbrega, who was the Humanist and Jesuit responsible for endeavoring the missionary work of conversion of heathen, and presents Brazil, which is the representation of Garden of Eden. And, finally, Chapter Four considers the provisions on letters, which were the means of communication of the Society of Jesus about the progress both of catechesis and regular teaching in all missions; the public teaching of sciences and letters; and the educational articulation in Brazil in the 16th Century contained in Father Manuel da Nóbrega s letters. The result of this research was the dialogue of nowadays with the past, as communications that took place amongst people along time, and Nóbrega, having left his testimony, opened the way to a joint and wide approach of history aspects in which he lived / Esta dissertação é vinculada ao grupo de História das Idéias Lingüísticas, da linha de pesquisa História e Descrição da Língua, do Programa de Estudos Pós- Graduados em Língua Portuguesa da PUC-SP e estuda Manuel da Nóbrega e a Companhia de Jesus na sistematização pedagógica no Brasil do século XVI. Este período, chamado por Alves de Mattos (1958) de Período Heróico, que se estendeu da chegada dos primeiros missionários e educadores, em 1549, até a morte de Manuel da Nóbrega, no Rio de Janeiro, em 1570, é retratado em Cartas escritas por Nóbrega. Nóbrega manteve, desde sua chegada à Baía de Todos os Santos a 29 de Março de 1549, uma extensa correspondência com os superiores da Ordem em Portugal e Roma e relatou, em detalhes, as primeiras tentativas educacionais no Brasil quinhentista, ações animadas pela experiência de unir ao ensino da doutrina cristã (catequese) uma escola de ler e escrever (instrução). Era a missão de propagar a fé nos extensos domínios portugueses e introduzir a escola de ler e escrever como veículo ao ensino da doutrina cristã. Assim sendo, o trabalho principia com o embasamento teórico proporcionado pela História das Idéias Lingüísticas que orienta a condução do trabalho, segue considerando, no Segundo Capítulo, os Companheiros de Jesus e a Ordem Missionária. No Terceiro Capítulo é apresentado Manuel da Nóbrega, o Humanista e Jesuíta encarregado em empreender a obra missionária de conversão do gentio e apresenta o Brasil, a representação do Jardim do Édem. E, por fim, no Quarto Capítulo, são consideradas as disposições sobre correspondências, meio de informação da Companhia de Jesus sobre o andamento da catequese e do ensino em todas as missões; o ensino publico das sciencias e letras; e a articulação educacional no Brasil no século XVI exposta nas Cartas do Padre Manuel da Nóbrega. O resultado desta pesquisa foi o diálogo da atualidade com o passado, como comunicação entre os indivíduos no grande tempo e Nóbrega, ao deixar seu testemunho, abriu caminho a um enfoque conjunto e abrangente dos aspectos da história em que viveu

This thesis aims to discuss the History of Science in the Modern Age. It is a historical- philosophical reflection on the relationship between Science and Religion in the seventeenth century through the trip, works and life of the Czech mathematician, astronomer and Jesuit priest Valentin Stancel in Moravia, Bohemia, Italy, Portugal and Brazil . This study seeks to redimension the participation of the priests of the Society of Jesus in the development of the modern era by higlighting the activity of the Jesuit priests in the political-religious and scientific transformations that occurred in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Europe, in the Orient and in Portuguese America. The present study aims to reflect on the scientific discoveries of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, especially in the fields of mathematics and astronomy; the new conception of man and world that springs from the political and religious transformations of reformist thought and cultural renaissance; the shock of the new scientific theories and experiences with the Sacred Scriptures and consequently with Christian-Aristotelian scholastic theology; besides contesting the lack of participation of priests, or even religion, in contributing for the development of science. The timeframe of the work takes place primarily...
