Apesar das proibições régias no que se referia à presença de regulares nas Minas, isso não significou que esses padres, entre os quais vários jesuítas, marcassem presença naquele território. Os primeiros jesuítas a pisar no espaço que viria a constituir as Minas do Ouro aqui estiveram ainda no século XVI, e as expedições com a finalidade de catequese e aldeamento de gentios se mantiveram no decorrer do século XVII. A descoberta do ouro não inibiu a presença dos jesuítas. Pelo contrário, a presença e atuação dos inacianos na primeira metade do século XVIII foi decisiva e se deu em eventos de grande relevância, como na Revolta de Felipe dos Santos e na Missão dos Padres Matemáticos ordenada pela Coroa com o intuito de subsidiar o acordo para delimitação das fronteiras com a América Espanhola (Tratado de Madri). Os jesuítas que por aqui passaram contribuíram para a formação de uma cultura política que culminou em quatro delitos de Inconfidências que tiveram como palco as Minas durante o período pombalino.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Palavras-chave:</span></strong><span style="color: black;"> Companhia de Jesus; Minas Gerais; Século XVIII; Cultura política.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;" align="center"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Abstract</span></span></span></strong></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;" align="center"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></span></strong></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">This article analyzes the presence and action of the Jesus Company priests in Minas Gerais. Despite royal prohibitions in what referred to the presence of regular priests in Minas Gerais, those priests, among them many Jesuits, marked their presence in the territory. The first Jesuits to step on the ground that came to be the Gold Mines were here in the 16 th century, and expeditions for the heathens' catechesis and settlement purposes were kept all over the 17th century. The discovery of gold did not inhibit the Jesuits' presence. On the contrary, the presence and action of the Inacians in the first half of the 18th century were decisive and comprised events of such huge relevance as the Felipe dos Santos Revolt and the Mathematic Priests' Mission ordered by the Crown in order to subsidize the agreement to establish the frontier with Spanish America (Treaty of Madrid). The Jesuits who traveled through Minas Gerais contributed to the constitution of a political culture that culminated in four offences of Inconfidências (insurrections) in the State during the Pombal period.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Key words:</span></strong><span style="color: black;"> The Jesus Company; Minas Gerais; 18th century; Political culture.</span></span></span></p>
