Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The Europe of the 18th century manifested a keen interest on the education of nobles and Portugal was in line with this current tendency, founding the Royal College of Nobles in Lisbon. My main interest is the study of the official inaugural speech, delivered on 14th April of 1766 by Michael Antonius Cierae, a Latin discourse, never translated or deeply studied. This rhetorical performance is an important source to study the new pedagogical program conceived by of the King Joseph I and his minister José Sebastiăo Carvalho e Melo, also known as Marquęs de Pombal, after the expulsion of Jesuits. This discourse represents a broad view of political philosophy and for this reason, I decided to divide the present article in three parts. First, I circumscribe the political and historical context in Europe, then analyse the creation’s circumstances of this Royal College, and shed light on the rhetorical structure of speech, its subjects and topoi articulated under all partes orationis. I expect to recognize in which way this official speech reveals the pedagogical philosophy to understand the political polemics and controversies of this period inPortugal.
