Abstract

Abstract This article aims to bring to the attention of Translation Studies scholars and Translation historians outside Brazil a specific phenomenon in the historiography of translation into Portuguese. The focus rests on the scientific translation boom which took place in Portugal between 1799 and 1808, in a movement of books and knowledge which molded Enlightenment in the Portuguese Empire. In that context, a group of translators born in Brazil played a decisive role while working for the Tipographia Casa do Arco do Cego, run by Friar José Mariano da Conceição Veloso, a publishing house known for its publications on enlightened science.
