Abstract (lang="eng")

The bicentennial of Abbé Correia da Serra’s death, the founder of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences, occurred in 2023. As Abbé had lived in Washington from 1812 to 1820 (where he maintained a close, friendly relationship with the Founding Fathers, particularly with Thomas Jefferson) the Ambassador of Portugal in Washington, Francisco Duarte Lopes, took the initiative of organizing a session to evoke this singular Portuguese figure. The event occurred at the Cosmos Club, Washington, D.C., on May 23rd, 2024. Having requested my collaboration in the planning of the event, we decided to organize a panel with the participation of the President of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences, Professor José Luís Cardoso; Professor Gordon Wood, the most renowned historian of the American Revolution; and myself, for my role calling attention to this compelling figure of a Portuguese touched by the Enlightenment. The session took place in the Cosmos Club’s main room, all available seats sold out. Below are the three communications read that afternoon.

Abstract (lang="por")

O bicentenário da morte do Abade Correia da Serra, fundador da Academia das Ciências de Lisboa, ocorreu em 2023. Como o Abade viveu em Washington de 1812 a 1820 (onde manteve uma relação próxima e amigável com os Pais Fundadores, particularmente com Thomas Jefferson), o Embaixador de Portugal em Washington, Francisco Duarte Lopes, tomou a iniciativa de organizar uma sessão para evocar esta singular figura portuguesa. O evento ocorreu no Cosmos Club, Washington, D.C., em 23 de maio de 2024. Tendo solicitado a minha colaboração no planeamento do evento, decidimos organizar um painel com a participação do Presidente da Academia das Ciências de Lisboa, Professor José Luís Cardoso; do Professor Gordon Wood, o mais renomado historiador da Revolução Americana; e eu próprio, pelo meu papel em chamar a atenção para esta fascinante figura de um português tocado pelo Iluminismo. A sessão decorreu na sala principal do Cosmos Club, com todos os lugares disponíveis esgotados. Abaixo estão as três comunicações lidas nessa tarde.
