Pedro Nunes na «Aula da Esfera»: o ensino da navegação teórica em Lisboa no colégio jesuíta de Santo Antão (2021)

unapi

This chapter focuses on the presence of Pedro Nunes’ work in vernacular sources associated with the “Class on the Sphere”, at the end of the 16th century and during the 17th century. Three case-studies are addressed: an original text about navigation based on the classes taught by one of the first teachers; a scientific debate around advanced topics of navigation; the use of secondary sources to access Nunes’ work, with teaching purposes. Through these cases, it becomes possible to better understand the strategies used to communicate and transmit scientific knowledge about navigation at the “Class on the Sphere”. The chapter also provides key insights about variations in the quality of the teaching of navigation at the institution, as a function of the teachers’ goals and abilities and students’ own interests.
