The aim of this text is to present the basic structure of the Jesuit educational plan, Ratio at que Institutio Studiorum Societatis Iesu, and its influence on the Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte Seminary, which is primarily manifested through the first regulation of this institution. The analysis will be based on the documentary study of the Ratio Studiorum, in the version translated and commented on by Father Leonel Franca, and the first regulation of the Mariana Seminary, promulgated in 1760 by Dom Frei Manuel da Cruz. Additionally, to fulfill the proposed objective, the regulation of the Belém da Cachoeira Seminary, an educational institution founded by the Jesuits in the 17th century, will be used. This document will help to connect the regulation of the Mariana Seminary with the Jesuit educational model.
