Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação de mestrado visa abordar a navegação em Portugal no século
XIX, assim sendo descrevem-se as evoluções que tiveram lugar no panorama
internacional durante este século com o intuito de enquadrar as mesmas no contexto da
publicação da obra Guia Nautica ou Tratado Pratico de Navegação de João Peregrino
Leitão, publicada em 1865. Esta análise tem como objetivo último aferir a importância da
obra no contexto português aquando da sua publicação e atestar a afirmação do autor
acerca da inexistência de um trabalho semelhante em português.
João Peregrino Leitão, natural da Ilha da Madeira nasceu no ano de 1821, tendo
assentado praça a 29 de setembro de 1835. Frequentou o curso de marinha, lecionado em
conjunto pela Academia Real dos Guardas-marinhas e Escola Politécnica, tendo sido
promovido a guarda-marinha a 1 de dezembro de 1842.
De forma a enquadrar a obra em análise no panorama internacional do conhecimento
da navegação, são abordadas, no segundo capítulo, as principais evoluções ocorridas ao
nível do conhecimento náutico no século XIX. No capítulo seguinte, enquadra-se a obra
de Leitão no contexto do ensino português à época. Para tal, revê-se em sumário as
instituições de ensino estabelecidas em Portugal bem como as sucessivas reformas
educativas que tiveram lugar neste período.
No último capítulo realiza-se uma análise comparativa entre a obra de Leitão e o
compêndio Piloto Instruído de Costa e Almeida, de 1830. O conteúdo dos dois manuais
é analisado em rigor, concluindo-se que não existem diferenças significativas entre os
mesmos. Sendo a obra de Leitão posterior à de Costa e Almeida, a dissertação defende
que o manual Guia Nautica não apresenta um cariz inovador no contexto português,
sendo que desta forma a conclusão da investigação vai contra a afirmação de Leitão no
prefácio da sua obra intitulado “AOS HOMENS DO MAR”.
This master’s dissertation intends to analyze the navigation in Portugal, in the 19th century. Aiming to contextualize the book Guia Nautica ou Tratado Pratico de Navegação of João Peregrino Leitão, published in 1865, the thesis describes the main evolution that took place in international terms on this subject during this century. This analysis intends to assess the importance of Leitao’s work in the Portuguese context and discuss the statement of the author that defends that there was no similar book at that time in Portuguese. João Peregrino de Leitão was born in Madeira Island in 1821 and started his military career on 29th September of 1835. Leitão attended the naval course in Academia Real dos Guardas-marinhas and in Escola Politécnica, being promoted to midshipman on 1st December of 1842. To better frame the manual under analysis in the international context of navigation knowledge, the main developments occurred in the 19th century are summarized in the second chapter of this dissertation. In the next section, the thesis presents the most important educational changes occurred in Portugal during this period aiming to place the book of Leitão in the existent educational context when it was published. In the last part of this thesis, a comparative analysis is performed between Leitao’s book and Piloto Instruído written by Costa e Almeida and published in 1830. The content of both manuals is analyzed in detail and by performing this task is possible to conclude that there are no significant differences between the two books. Since Guia Nautica was published after Costa e Almeida’s book, the dissertation advocatesthat Guia Nautica does not present an innovative approach to the navigation topic in the Portuguese context. By stating this, the dissertation goes against the initial statements of Leitão in his book preface titled “AOS HOMENS DO MAR”.
