TEIXEIRA (António José). DOCUMENTOS para a Historia dos Jesuítas em Portugal. Coimbra. 1899. - TEIXEIRA (António José) DOCUMENTOS para a Historia dos Jesuítas em Portugal . Coimbra: Imprensa da Universidade, 1899. XIV-716 pp.; 245 mm. First edition. António José Teixeira de Araújo (Coimbra, 1830 - 1900), PhD in Mathematics and Philosophy from the University of Coimbra, where he taught between 1857 and 1879, was commissioned in 1860 to gather documentation for the literary history of that University, a work that resulted, four decades later, in the present compilation. He also published António Homem e a Inquisição (Coimbra, 1902), a posthumous work about the famous Coimbra professor condemned by the Holy Office. The Documents for the History of the Jesuits in Portugal , in six parts, brings together primary documentation relating to the presence of the Society of Jesus in Coimbra and Portugal: the founding of the College of Arts and the arrival of French masters; the arrival of the Jesuits in Coimbra; privileges granted to the Society; donations received; reform of the university statutes; and privileges of estates and monasteries. The work constitutes a fundamental reference tool for the study of the relations between the Society of Jesus, the University of Coimbra, and the Portuguese Crown in the 16th and 17th centuries, and for understanding the context in which the Pombaline reform of education and the subsequent expulsion of the Jesuits in 1759 were prepared.
