Abstract(s)
José Nunes da Matta (1849-1945) foi uma personagem que marcou e fez soar o nome de Portugal no estrangeiro, graças aos trabalhos que desenvolveu e publicou, nomeadamente na vertente Naval tendo como origem a sua instituição mãe que é a Escola Naval, fruto de longas horas investidas na vertente académica.
Da sua ilustre carreira militar, Nunes da Matta realizou outros inúmeros feitos, tanto na vertente civil com a salvação da freguesia de Parede como na vertente académica onde graças ao seu empenho e dedicação conseguiu publicar vários artigos onde alguns deles viriam a ser reconhecidos a nível internacional. Da sua extensa obra, estudámos com maior detalhe o trabalho que Nunes da Matta desenvolveu na elaboração da Tábua Poliatélica que impulsionou a navegação astronómica e aérea em Portugal. Os contributos apresentados anteriormente, tratando-se de um feito pioneiro em Portugal, são por nós considerados uma meta importante na ciência portuguesa, nomeadamente na vertente da Navegação
Apresentado o impacto que a vida deste militar teve na Marinha e para Portugal, analisámos a carreira militar do nosso biografado desde os tempos de aluno até lente e mais tarde Comandante da Escola Naval. Para esse fim, apresentamos o nosso apontamento biográfico elaborado através de fontes arquivísticas com vista a resumir a sua carreira, nomeadamente os navios e unidades por onde passou, os louvores/condecorações que recebeu e por último a ordem cronológica da sua carreira.
Por forma a expor outras áreas de investigação e interesse de Nunes da Matta, será ainda apresentada a sua bibliografia dividida nas diferentes temáticas literárias.
José Nunes da Matta (1849-1945) was a character who left his mark not only in Portugal but also abroad. Thanks to the developed and published academic works, namely in the Navigation field, he brought prestige to the Navy School, main institution to which he devoted many hours of his academic life. Apart from his distinguished military career, Nunes da Matta accomplished innumerous achievements both in civilian component, with the saving of Parede’s city council, and in academic component where thanks to his effort and dedication he managed to publish various articles. Some of them being recognized internationally. From his vast work, we studied in greater detail the one where Nunes da Matta developed the Nautical Table, «Tábua Poliatélica», that improved and boosted astronomical and air navigations in Portugal. As a pioneering achievement in Portugal, we consider the previously described contributions as an important goal for Portuguese science, namely for Navigation field. By showing the impact that the life of this Officer had in the Navy and for Portugal, we analyze his military career starting with student days up to the days when he became Commander of the Navy School. For this matter we present our bibliographic notes prepared through archive references to summarize his career, namely the ships where he served, his decorations or honours and finally his military career in a chronological order. In order to show Nunes da Matta’s other topics of research or interest, his bibliography will also be presented divided in different literary works.
