This article focused on the inception and spread of a schooling apparatus founded in the notions of order, uniformity, and systematic totalization, which was developed with an emphasis on the need to govern the written word. We examine the institution where these routines were first applied, the University of Paris in the early 16th century, and then turn to Jesuit pedagogy. By imparting its distinctive mark, the Society of Jesus spread what had been a Parisian experience worldwide. Studying the Jesuit appropriation of the modus parisiensis, by using their founding texts (the Constitutions, the Ratio Studiorum and the Spiritual Exercises) as our main sources, allows us to revisit one of the most decisive points of descent for the order of discourse that still pervades our educational institutions. The goal is to provide empirical support to the idea that school culture is grounded on an immense fear of the nomadic, interweaving, and evading nature of thought processes.

Keywords : Society of Jesus; school writing; modus parisiensis; higher education; religious education.
