Frei Manuel do Cenáculo no panorama intelectual de Setecentos: o Erudito e o Mecenas
Abstract
The purpose is to analyse the life of Fr. Manuel do Cenáculo as a bishop, historian, statesman and reformer of the Portuguese Eighteenth-century. His leadership in all teaching reforms is also mentioned, as well as initiatives on archaeology and as bibliophilist. The essay explores the correspondence between the bishop Cenáculo and several erudite people -specially book's collectors in connection with the printing and edition movement in Europe- and underlines his splendid activity as sponsor and founder of the first public libraries in Portugal, namely the Real Biblioteca Pública da Corte ( 1796) as well as the libraries of Beja and Évora.
