HABEMUS CURSUM PHILOSOPHICUM

Abstract

This article aims to divulge the identification of a rare manuscript. However, prior to considering the manuscript itself, the study will analyze the following two perspectives: the sense of history in the Brazilian culture and some elements of the colonial school culture. The third section will analyze the physical and diagramming features of the manuscript, present the organization of its contents and introduce some basic philological data. We propose the following hypothesis: can this manuscript be considered a Cursus Philosophicus similar to the cursus written in Coimbra or Salamanca?
