Papal bull and associated financial account, dated 13 November 1884 (with administrative notes from 14 March and 14 October 1884), concerning the episcopal appointment of Dom António Joaquim de Medeiros (also referenced as de Noronha) as Bishop of Macau. The document, issued by Pope Leo XIII during his seventh year of pontificate, formally transfers the titular Bishop of Thermopylae to the Diocese of Macau, a see established under Portuguese royal patronage (*Padroado Real*) granted by King Luís I, Most Faithful King of Portugal and the Algarves. It details the Apostolic authority for the translation, including absolution from prior ecclesiastical obligations, delegation of full spiritual and temporal governance, and instructions for oaths of fidelity to be administered by a designated Catholic prelate. The text affirms the legitimacy of the Macau see under various historical patronage designations, including *Patronatus Caritatis* and *Tropaeum Canonissimi*, and commands local clergy, cathedral chapter, university, and laity to render obedience. Accompanying the bull is an itemised account of consistorial expenses totalling 957.57 florins, covering fees paid to Roman Curia officials, scribes, notaries, and other functionaries involved in the episcopal consecration process, attested by Vicente Domati and Christina Duplertum. The documents originate from the Holy See and pertain to ecclesiastical administration in colonial Macau, reflecting the intersection of papal authority and Portuguese imperial patronage in late 19th-century Catholic missions.

This 1882 diplomatic correspondence from the Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, transmitted from Lisbon on 29 July, concerns ecclesiastical appointments within the Portuguese colonial context in Asia. The document comprises three interrelated texts: an official dispatch transmitting ecclesiastical materials to a government minister; a royal charter dated 30 December 1881 (with year partially redacted) issued under the authority of the King of Portugal; and a formal petition addressed to the Pope regarding the appointment of António Joaquim de Alpedrinha as coadjutor to the Archbishop of Goa and Superior of the Missions of Timor. Key figures include Dom Luís, styled as ruler of multiple territories including India, the priest António Joaquim de Alpedrinha, Father Espírito da Caparinha, and Medeiros, the Vicar General of Goa. The primary subject matter involves the nomination of Alpedrinha to assist in the spiritual governance of a vast and administratively challenging diocese encompassing Timor, with explicit reference to canonical procedures, the preservation of the Padroado Real (Royal Patronage), and the need for papal confirmation through Apostolic Letters. A stipend (congrua) is requested for the appointee’s sustenance. The documents reflect the intersection of state authority, colonial administration, and ecclesiastical jurisdiction in the late nineteenth-century Portuguese Empire, offering critical insights into church-state relations and the governance of overseas missions during the period.
