Tractatus de Sphaera, a text devoted to elementary cosmography and astronomy, began its circulation in the first half of the 13th century. Thanks to its style and contents it became fundamental in the education of many university students throughout Europe and gave rise to an intellectual tradition that prevailed in Europe for around 400 years. Our main goal in this communication is to present the treatise and its contents. In order to understand it, we will start by giving a brief introduction on the author and on the scientific and social context of the time. In the end we will focus on the impact and tradition of this text in Portugal.
