Abstract
The Spanish Jesuit Juan Andrés left his country when the Society of Jesus was expelled and, afterwards, he developed an important intellectual activity in Italy. Origen, progresos y estado actual de toda la literatura (1782-1799), the first Letters and Sciences universal history, is the most interesting exponent of that activity; it is an extensive, encyclopaedic, historiographic and essayistic work, admired in Europe at the end of the eighteenth century, and it includes a section on Grammar. This paper deals with Andres's ideas about Grammar and about the History of Linguistics Studies.
