Abstract(s)
José Maria Dantas Pereira (1772-1836) foi um dos protagonistas da História Marítima portuguesa, nomeadamente no ensino náutico, fruto da elevada dedicação com que serviu a Companhia dos Guardas Marinhas.
Mas para além do seu prodigioso percurso na ilustre instituição, Dantas Pereira realizou ainda notáveis empresas em diversos outros domínios, tendo se destacado com o seu espírito empreendedor na produção e difusão do conhecimento científico, tanto na Marinha, como a nível nacional. Da sua obra, estudamos com maior detalhe na presente dissertação o trabalho de Dantas Pereira na conceção de uma pasigrafia, um sistema de escrita universal. Estes contributos, tendo sido pioneiros em solo nacional, constituem um marco importante na análise da obra deste oficial de Marinha, bem como na história da ciência portuguesa, evidenciando a versatilidade de Dantas Pereira, que para além de militar, revela ter sido um ilustre pensador português.
Em adição a isto, face ao impacto que o nosso biografado teve no estabelecimento do ensino náutico do século XIX, analisamos a sua carreira de Marinha, desde os seus tempos de discípulo em 1788, até ao seu exílio em 1834. Para este efeito, fornecemos o nosso próprio apontamento biográfico, onde destacamos a prestação que Dantas Pereira durante a sua formação, os seus feitos enquanto Comandante da insigne Companhia e servidor do Estado, e as circunstâncias do final da sua vida.
Por forma a identificar quais terão sido os outros objetos de estudo e interesse de Dantas Pereira, será ainda exposta a sua bibliografia, dividida nas diferentes áreas que este estudou, bem como os trabalhos que apresentou nas instituições científicas do seu tempo, nomeadamente a Sociedade Real Marítima, e a Academia Real das Ciências de Lisboa.
José Maria Dantas Pereira was one protagonist of the Portuguese Maritime History, namely in the nautical teaching area, as a product of his overwhelming dedication with which he served the Marine Guards Company. But besides his stupendous route in the enlightened institution, Dantas Pereira performed as well notable deeds in many other domains, being distinguished for his pushful spirit concerning the creation and diffusion of scientific knowledge, both in the Navy and national domains. From his literature, we studied with greater focus his works regarding pasygraphy, a universal writing system. These contributions, being pioneers on national territory, are an important mark on the analysis of this navy officer bibliography, as well on the history of Portuguese science, illustrating the versality of Dantas Pereira, who, besides a military, reveals to have been an enlightened Portuguese thinker. In addition to this, and because of the impact that our character had in the institution of nautical teaching in the XIX century, we analyzed his naval career, since his disciple times, in 1788, until his exile in 1834. For this, we give our own biographical notes, revealing Dantas Pereira outstanding performance during his education, his accomplishments as both Commander of the prestigious Company and State servant, as well as the circumstances of the final stages of his life. To identify other subjects of interest by Dantas Pereira, his bibliography will also be exposed, divided in the different areas that he studied, as well as the works that he presented to the scientific institutions of his time, namely the Royal Maritime Society, and the Lisbon Royal Sciences Academy
