The Universidad de San Ignacio was a university in city of Manila in the Philippines founded in 1590. It is one of the earliest educational institutions founded by the European explorers in Asia when it was established by the Jesuits headed by Fr. Antonio Sedeño, S.J.. The school ceased into existence following the expulsion of the Jesuits in the Philippines in 1768.〔("The First Hundred Years Of the Ateneo de Manila" ). Ateneo de Manila University.

They were custodians of the ''ratio studiorum'', the Jesuit system of education developed around 1559.〔 Within a decade of their arrival, the Society, through Fr. Antonio Sedeño, founded the now defunct Universidad de San Ignacio in 1590.〔〔("History" ). Ateneo de Manila University Website. Retrieved on 2012-05-01.〕 It was originally conceived as a school to prepare young men for the priesthood. However, it was only in 1595 when the college formally opened wherein Latin grammar and “cases of conscience” were initially taught to priest and candidates for the priesthood.〔〔("Royal and Pontifical" ). Inquirer.net.

Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila. Retrieved on 2012-05-01.〕 It was first called Colegio de Manila and was renamed Colegio de San Ignacio in 1626 in memory of the Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus.〔〔 In 1601, an extension college called the ''Colegio de San José'' was also set up as a residential college for students studying at the Colegio de Manila.〔〔(A Brief History of PLM ). ''ReoCities" May 1, 2012.〕 Among its rectors, one of the most distinguished personalities was the Czech Jesuit Paul Klein, the author of the first Tagalog dictionary〔Juan José de Noceda, Pedro de Sanlucar, Vocabulario de la Lengua Tagala, Manila 2013, pg iv, Komision sa Wikang Filipino〕 as well as the author of the first map of Palau. The Colegio de Manila was also regularly referred in history books as ''Colegio Seminario de San Ignacio'', ''Colegio Máximo de San Ignacio'', or simply ''Colegio de San Ignacio'', possibly to distinguish it from the Colegeo de San José.〔〔〔〔 In 1621, the Colegio de Manila was authorized by Pope Gregory XV through the Archbishop of Manila to confer degrees in theology and arts. Two years later the authorization was confirmed by Philip IV of Spain and elevated the school into a university, thus making the Universidad de San Ignacio the first royal and pontifical university in the Philippines and in Asia.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Universidad de San Ignacio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
