Abstract

The interest for Medieval history was raised in Brazil by the teaching of F. Braudel, E. Coornaert and E.G. Léonard at the Universidade de São Paulo in the 1950s. Only on the last twenty years, however, researches have developed in the universities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, Fluminense. The formation of the researchers is completed in Europe, with a strong influence of French historiography (Duby, Le Goff) and is mainly focused on the Later Middle Ages. Among the most investigated themes, besides history of Portugal in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, special attention is given to the history of religion and to the history of mentality (under the point of view of its effect on Brazilian popular and peasant culture as well).
