Abstract

Created in 1720 under royal patronage, the Royal Academy of Portuguese History aimed to build a new model for historiography. Sebastião da Rocha Pita, supernumerary academician of this institution in Brazil, published in 1730 the História da América Portuguesa (History of Portuguese America). Following the academic environment of this époque and the path of his research, we try to frame this History of Brazil (the first to be published) from a historiographical point of view, regarding some more relevant issues such as the discovery of this new world, the Dynastic Union and the Restoration, the sacred nature and divine intervention in this overseas territory.
