Resumo: Thais paper examines the rhetoric and the introduction of documentary criticism in the biographical writing of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Lisbon. This group, created in the reign of Queen Maria I in 1779, instituted in its program the writing of Vidas, Elogios Históricos e Memórias Históricas that served to narrate the life of historical personages of the kingdom and the deceased partners of the institution. In this context, biographical writings were valued for their ability to extol the history of "great men" and their moralizing efficacy. In this research, we conceive the biographies of the Academy as traditional forms of representation of the past, incorporated into the Illustrated regime of writing history in the passage from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century. Having the historiographic text as object, we problematize the writing of history in its conceptual and methodological aspects, emphasizing the textual construction and the forms of validation of the historiographic discourse. Considering this, we elucidate the incorporation of the biographical writings of the Academy to the regime of scholarly historicity, showing how rhetoric and erudition focused on the construction of certain notions of historical evidence. We verified the relation between the biographical writings and the project of Philosophical History elaborated by the members of the association, indicating the coexistence of different notions of history in the biographical writing. In the Academy, history would be conditioned by different traditions and movements, being able to be understood at the same time as gender, science and experience of the time.
