Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a comparative analysis of university reforms at the University of Salamanca and the University of Coimbra between 1766 and 1820. It explores the historical context of educational reforms in the Iberian Peninsula, influenced by broader European movements, particularly during the Enlightenment. The study examines the evolution of teaching and curricula in fields such as natural sciences, law, and philosophy, highlighting the role of key educational models and the expulsion of the Jesuits. The author delves into the impact of these reforms on social mobility and professional orientation in Portugal and Spain, as well as the influence of European universities on the Iberian education system. The book aims to contribute to the understanding of historical university reform efforts and their long-term implications.
