Nuns Navigating the Spanish Empire tells the remarkable story of a group of nuns who traveled halfway around the globe in the seventeenth century to establish the first female Franciscan convent in the Far East. In 1620 Sor Jerónima de la Asunción (1556-1630) and her cofounders left their cloistered convent in Toledo, Spain, journeying to Mexico to board a Manila galleon on their way to the Philippines. Sor Jerónima is familiar to art historians for her portrait by Velàzquez that hangs in the Prado Museum in Madrid. What most people do not know is that one of her travel companions, Sor Ana de Cristo (1565-1636), wrote a long biographical account of Sor Jerónima and their fifteen-month odyssey. Drawing from Sor Ana (TM)s manuscript, other archival sources, and rare books, Owensâ (TM)s study offers a fascinating view of travel, evangelization, and empire

For three centuries, the former Portuguese colony of Macau served as the gateway into mainland China and the locale for the development of an Asian Catholic culture that encompassed distinctive musical practices and styles. Macau and Catholic Music Across the Sino-Western Divide draws extensively upon historical documents in Chinese and Portuguese for a polylingual approach to Catholic sacred music. Jen-yen Chen follows this music from the sixteenth century through the twentieth by reading literary accounts of sound, primary source documents, and musical notation to examine the impacts of linguistic, political, and cultural divides and the ways sounds have traveled across these divides. Chen covers Chinese responses to Western sounds in Macau and southern China, illuminating the strategies for the use of sounds and musicking adopted by Jesuit missionaries; and the complexities of identity formation negotiated by Macau Catholics who confront exceptionalist historical discourses of Chinese or Portuguese “greatness.” Drawing from sound studies and musicological methods, Chen argues that Chinese descriptions of Catholic sounds in Macau, including the ringing of church bells, the playing of the organ, and choral singing, illuminate spatial, sonic, and ideological mobilities that reconfigure Chinese and European identities. Macau and Catholic Music Across the Sino-Western Divide also extends to contemporary times to explore how present day members of Macau’s Catholic community position themselves in relation to the historical narratives often told about their city, cultivating a rich individuality of identity that refuses conformity to fixed notions of Asianness or Westernness.

This is a scholarly transcription of a 1712 historical document: *A Sincere and True Account of the Lawful Defence of the Royal Prerogatives and Privileges of the Crown of Portugal in the City of Macau*, composed by Dr Dom Félix Leal de Castro in Macau on 4 February 1712 and printed in Xiangshan. The text constitutes a formal rebuttal to an anonymous 1712 Augustinian account concerning ecclesiastical jurisdictional conflicts arising from the presence in Macau of Cardinal Charles-Thomas Maillard de Tournon, Patriarch of Antioch and Apostolic Legate to China. It details the protracted dispute (1705–1712) between Portuguese civil and ecclesiastical authorities—including the Bishop and Captain-General of Macau, the Viceroy of Portuguese India, and the Primate Archbishop—over the Patriarch’s claim to exercise jurisdiction in Macau without presenting papal bulls formally ratified by the Royal Council of Portugal (*Conselho Ultramarino*) or obtaining prior royal consent. Central figures include the Patriarch; Captain-General Diogo de Lino Teixeira and his successor Francisco de Mello e Castro; Bishop of Macau; Vicar General of the diocese; Prior Fray Constantino del Espíritu Santo of the Augustinian Convent; and Provincial Father Francisco Pinto of the Society of Jesus. The document records key events: the Patriarch’s 1705 arrival and restricted activities in Macau; the 1707 council of the Three Estates affirming royal prerogatives (*regalias da Coroa*); the imposition and subsequent modification of the Patriarch’s custody; the 1708–1710 expulsions and arrests of religious loyal to the Patriarch—including Augustinians and Dominicans—and the renewal of prohibitions against their convents; the 1709 royal decrees (*cédulas*) confirming the Crown’s position; the Patriarch’s death in June 1710; and the 1712 handover of the Augustinian Convent to secular clergy. All assertions are grounded in archival instruments, official correspondence, canonical procedure, and juridical reasoning rooted in the Portuguese *regalia* and papal privileges granted to the Crown.
