Abstract
This 1905 official correspondence, originating from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, comprises a letter and an attached memorial concerning the exhibition of historical monuments linked to Francisco Alexer Moraped, former Governor of the Diocese of Macau (China) and Commander of the Order of Saint Benedict. Dated 23 October 1905, the document was issued from the Minister’s Office under reference number — 004 — and addressed to Monsignor Mirando. It transmits a memorial endorsed by Senhor Serário, President of the Council, requesting that the recipient, in coordination with the Holy See, support the inclusion of Moraped’s monuments in the “Historic Portugal” section of an upcoming national exhibition. The monuments in question were established by Papal Brief on 24 February 1805, indicating their ecclesiastical sanction and historical significance within Portugal’s colonial and religious heritage. The letter reflects diplomatic protocols between Portuguese civil authorities and ecclesiastical figures during the late colonial period, highlighting efforts to curate national history for public display. This document serves as a primary source for understanding early 20th-century Portuguese cultural diplomacy, the commemoration of colonial administrative figures, and the intersection of state and Church in shaping historical narratives. Its provenance and references offer researchers insight into archival practices, ecclesiastical titles, and the political use of heritage in the Portuguese Empire.
