Abstract

One aimed to approach the political and educational purposes discussed for the Seminário de Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte located in Mariana, which was the diocese headquarters of Minas Gerais, in the 1820s and 1830s decades. In order to do so, one analysed the disputes between the bishop Dom Frei José da Santíssima Trindade and the priest and professor of Philosophy Antonio José Ribeiro Bhering around such institution. Both of them had great expectations about the Seminary once it was one of the few educational institutions in Minas Gerais responsible for offering education to the ones who aimed to become priests and also to the ones in need of introductory classes to join higher education courses from the Empire. However, they disagreed about the instance which should stablish the rules for regency and also about the faculty team at the school, as well as about the content taught. The disagreements were not only placed in a local debate, but they were associated to deeper problems raised in the first decades of the construction of the State and Brazilian nation. Moreover, the study enables the awareness of how the connections between education were stablished, including the organization of the institutional areas created to this end, the political and religious activities in such context (AU)
