ABSTRACT
We propose a historically situated discussion on the organization and administration, in western culture, of a specific knowledge of schooling characterized by the principles of order and uniformity and expressed in monographs - compendia and manuals - that was produced to exclusively circulate in educational institutions. This analysis reverts to Renaissance academia and the earliest debates on the urgency of developing a mechanism to systematize knowledge, a framework in which Petrus Ramus emerges as a conceptual persona. A seminal diagnosis based on the educational act as a double process was then developed: (i) the curriculum was to become an invariable that rationalizes all knowledge through the unification of disciplines in a single syllabus, whereas ii) the method came to mean the possibility of stabilizing and simplifying, assembling and grading, the totality of school contents.
