This 17th-century ecclesiastical manuscript fragment, dated circa 1651, comprises a series of pastoral directives issued within the Portuguese colonial sphere, likely in India, concerning the conduct of priests in matters of marital conflict and gender relations. The document outlines strict guidelines for clerical interaction with women, particularly wives, emphasizing the avoidance of scandal (*scandalum*) and the prioritization of spiritual over temporal intervention. It prohibits priests from entertaining accusations made by wives against their husbands during confession, regardless of validity, and mandates discreet, charitable correction of husbands without public attribution of fault. Central to the text is the assertion that women’s devotional constancy should be acknowledged, yet pastoral focus must shift to men, deemed more instrumental in household governance and spiritual leadership. The instructions require mediation through the First Week of the Spiritual Exercises before absolution in marital disputes and stress impartiality, urging clergy to hear both spouses before discerning blame. Final recourse is directed to the Diocesan Bishop or Vicar General when reconciliation fails. Written in early modern ecclesiastical Portuguese with ascetic and disciplinary intent, the text reflects hierarchical gender norms, sacramental confidentiality, and the institutional Church’s role in regulating domestic life under colonial rule. This fragment provides critical insight into the intersection of religious authority, gender politics, and pastoral discipline in the Portuguese imperial context.

Livro em o qual se tresladão as cartas que escrevem os padres da companhia de Jesus das cousas que nosso senhor em diversas partes por eles obra (Códice 49-IV-50). (1547). Portugal. Biblioteca da Ajuda. http://43.156.68.124/docs/YDJBJPPK/viewer_YDJBJPPK.html

This 16th-century ecclesiastical manuscript comprises a series of transcribed letters and administrative reports from Jesuit missionaries operating within the Portuguese colonial sphere, primarily in India, Japan, and regions of Southeast Asia between 1556 and 1590. The document includes correspondence from key figures such as Father Melchior Carneiro, Father Gaspar Vilela, and Brother Paulo de Santa Fé, detailing missionary activities, theological instruction, and efforts to establish Christian communities. Central themes include the preaching of doctrine, administration of sacraments, conversion of local populations, and the challenges posed by cultural resistance, logistical constraints, and interreligious dynamics. The text records baptisms of both free and enslaved individuals, the suppression of indigenous religious practices, and the adaptation of Catholic rites to local contexts. References to locations such as Goa, Funai (Japan), Malacca, and Mozambique situate the missions within broader imperial and maritime networks. The manuscript also documents internal Jesuit governance, spiritual exercises, educational initiatives in colleges, and interactions with local rulers, including the Kings of Bungo and Manamotapa. Period-specific terminology, fragmented syntax, and marginal annotations reflect the original’s archival complexity, offering researchers insight into the linguistic, religious, and administrative frameworks of early modern Catholic evangelisation under Portuguese colonial authority.
