This archival document is a late 19th- or early 20th-century transcription—held at the Public Library and District Archive of Évora—of a Jesuit administrative and historical manuscript originally compiled in Macau, likely during the 17th century. It records the succession of Superiors, Provincials, Vice-Provincials, and Apostolic Visitors governing the Jesuit Province of Japan and China, as well as related missions in Macau, Cochinchina, Tonkin, Hainan, Fujian, Cambodia, Laos, Siam, and Shiab. The text details canonical procedures for appointment—including ‘viás’ (electoral successions), papal briefs, patents (*patentes*), and dispensations granted by Popes Innocent X and Alexander VII—as well as jurisdictional transitions, such as the formal separation of the Province of Japan and China from the Indian Provinces of Goa and Malabar in 1611. Key figures include Francis Xavier, Alessandro Valignano, Matteo Ricci, Nicolò Longobardo, Valentim Carvalho, Francisco da Veiga, and Alexandre de Rhodes; principal locations encompass Macau, Nagasaki, Funai, Kyoto, Beijing, Canton, Zhaoqing, Hainan, Tonkin, and Cochinchina. The document also chronicles foundational events, missionary strategies, political constraints, persecutions, shipwrecks, and administrative adaptations under colonial and East Asian imperial regimes, serving as a primary source for the institutional history of the Society of Jesus in East Asia.

This abstract describes a bilingual (Chinese and Latin) imperial edict issued on 9 November 1785—the eighth day of the tenth lunar month in the fiftieth year of the Qianlong reign—alongside a contemporaneous ecclesiastical dispatch dated 22 January 1786 from Macau. The document records the Qing Emperor’s conditional release of twelve European missionaries, including Patiliano (Father Joannes a Salsis), who had entered China without official authorisation and were apprehended across multiple provinces including Huguang, Zhili, Guangdong, Gansu, Jiangxi, and Sichuan. It details the Emperor’s rationale for initial sentencing to perpetual imprisonment—citing clandestine movement and proselytisation as disruptive analogues to the legendary venomous serpent *Guiyu*—and his subsequent clemency, permitting the missionaries either residence in Beijing churches (*jiaotang*) or repatriation to Macau under imperial auspices. The dispatch, authored by Martinho de Melo, Apostolic Administrator *ad interim* of Macau, reports ceremonial reception in Beijing—including imperial audience, liturgical celebration at the Cathedral, and solemn processions—as well as the identities and nationalities of twelve missionaries en route to Macau, among them Bishop Francisco Gabriel Turin of Sichuan, Italian, Spanish, French, Macanese, and Colombian clergy. The text reflects Qing administrative procedures, jurisdictional roles of the Board of Rites (*Lifan Yuan*) and Ministry of Justice (*Xingbu*), and missionary interpretations of imperial favour, including the term *Condegiro* as colloquial reference to high-ranking mandarins. This material constitutes a primary source for studying Sino-European religious diplomacy, Qing legal administration, and Catholic missionary activity in late eighteenth-century China.
