Abstract

Although the emergence of the Society of Jesus in the 16th century caused significant changes in the teaching in Portugal, it still allowed a form of continuity in the study of the Greek language, as it privileged the use of classical authors. Taking as a starting point several documents of the Society about the teaching of the Greek language and the instruments elaborated for that purpose – namely the collection Aliquot Opuscula Graeca published in Coimbra in 1583 –, this study aims at identifying which Greek works were read in the Jesuit colleges in Portugal and how they were adapted to the Jesuit pedagogical system.
