Housed in an old tradition of this type of publication, the case of São Paulo Almanac had the particularity the fact gathering throughout its eight volumes published group of intellectuals identified with opposition repertoire of the dominant imperial political system. In this sense, the objective of this work is to rescue the history of this publication by placing it in the context of the empire’s crisis and moving into the republic. The conceptual treatment intended to be applied in the context of this work is the intellectual sociability developed by Jean-François Sirinelli within the history of intellectuals, combined with the repertoire, prepared by Charles Tilly, from the perspective of the sociology of culture.
