[Page 1] [Main Text] Her Majesty Queen D. Maria Francisca de Saboia, may her glory endure, was pleased to grant three *Dragens de China* in order that the revenue derived from them should be applied towards the construction of the monastery of Augustinian nuns which Her Majesty personally initiated in the court of Madrid, under the condition stipulated in the provisions to be made concerning these said *Dragens*. And now wishing to effect this assistance, Her Majesty has already contributed significantly to the building of the said monastery and to works still incomplete, which are expected to reach completion. It is therefore fitting to grant, for this same purpose, two further *Dragens*, in addition to the three aforementioned; with the proviso that the provisions relating to these two additional *Dragens* shall be drawn up in the same manner as those previously issued. Copies of these, duly signed and countersigned, shall be delivered together with this instruction to the Chronicler of the Treasury, to whom this matter pertains, so that they may be immediately enacted within three days, and I may receive notification accordingly.
At Josép, 19 April 1677.

**Glossary of Key Terms:**
- ***Dragens de China***: A historical Portuguese fiscal term referring to a type of tax or revenue stream, often associated with customs duties or trade levies, particularly linked to colonial or Asian commerce during the early modern period. The term "Drágen" (from Dutch *daalder*, akin to "dollar") denotes a coin or unit of account; here, "Dragens de China" likely refers to revenues derived from trade with Asia, administered through the Portuguese Estado da Índia.
- **Augustinian nuns**: Members of a religious order following the Rule of St Augustine; in the Portuguese context, often associated with enclosed female monastic communities founded under royal patronage.
- **Chronicler of the Treasury (Cronista da Fazenda)**: A senior administrative official responsible for recording and overseeing financial dispositions and royal decrees related to state revenues. The role combined archival, fiscal, and bureaucratic functions within the Portuguese monarchy’s financial apparatus.
---
**Translator’s Note:**
This document reflects standard administrative practice in the Portuguese imperial bureaucracy during the late 17th century. The granting of revenue streams (*Dragens*) for religious foundations illustrates the intersection of crown patronage, Catholic piety, and colonial finance. The reference to Madrid indicates cross-dynastic engagement—Queen Maria Francisca de Saboia, wife of King Pedro II of Portugal, had strong Habsburg connections, and her foundation in Madrid underscores political-religious diplomacy between Iberian courts. The translation preserves formal structure, period-specific terminology, and fiscal language appropriate for academic use.

By His Excellency the King, it is hereby made known to all who shall see this Our Writ that, during the minority of the Queen, My much beloved niece—and by reason of her tender age—it was deemed expedient to grant permission on 29 December [i.e., 29 January] 1611 for a voyage to Japan to be undertaken. Furthermore, I now confirm and renew this authorisation, directing that the proceeds thereof be employed in sending persons from the Religious Orders—skilled architects among them—whom the Queen may dispatch as soon as possible to establish the desired foundation at this Court.
And since this arrangement has been maintained continuously, and must now be brought effectively and fully into execution, it seems fitting to Me that another voyage to Japan should be entrusted to Japanese envoys. Thus, I command with urgency that authority be transferred accordingly; and I hereby instruct that a formal mandate be sent under royal seal to the Captain-Major of India, specifically to Mestre Rio Leão, concerning this matter.
Upon the transfer of such authority, the said voyage shall be immediately undertaken, and precedence shall be given to all provisions herein contained, even if any prior patents or commissions contain clauses to the contrary. All such conflicting orders are hereby explicitly declared null and revoked. Therefore, should any individual arrive under such contradictory authority, they shall not be heeded; rather, whomever is duly appointed to undertake the said voyage and receive the transfer of power shall be placed immediately in possession of the commission and shall execute it effectively.
Moreover, should the said appointee arrive in the city of Macau while the Captain-Major is absent on another voyage, the former shall have the right to seize goods or demand security as necessary. Nevertheless, I expressly order that the designated person proceed with their voyage first. In the said city, the Governor may avail himself of any unencumbered vessel present in the port, appropriating it for the purpose of making the voyage, provided that just compensation is paid to the owners according to fair valuation, without further delay or impediment. This applies particularly in cases where no sufficiently large ship is available in the harbour to carry the customary cargo destined for Japan.

[Page 1] [Main Text] Whether adjudication may be carried out on two vessels, and in the event that the penalty incumbent upon the individual responsible has not been enforced due to failure to carry out such adjudication, the said penalty shall fall upon the person previously designated; and, in default of any named individual, upon third parties in like manner, as established before all duly verified authorities. The same principle shall apply in cases where goods or vessels subject to adjudication are at risk of deterioration or loss if adjudication is delayed, provided no impediment arises prior to final disposition.
Accordingly, I hereby instruct my Procurator in India, Isidoro da Índia, immediately to proceed with the formal adjudication under his commission, exercising authority at the distance of the Court of the *Tribunal do Ponder*, regarding the adjudication of the said patent within the jurisdiction of Almen aluara, executed properly and accompanied by all customary provisions and declarations typically required for such adjudications, without exception for Ceares Vragens. He is further instructed to ensure the purchase and collection of the contents of my *aluara* with utmost punctuality, notwithstanding any laws, ordinances, or customs whatsoever that may contravene or oppose this directive. This obligation is to be fulfilled precisely and expressly as declared herein, particularly given that payment derived therefrom must be rendered within no more than one year’s time, and must not be obstructed by age or by other provisions of the Ordinances which might otherwise apply.
Given by Gaspar d’Alenquer in Madrid, the twentieth day of February in the year one thousand six hundred and fourteen.

In accordance with this, three further copies shall be made, so that a complete set of four exists, of which this is the first.

Copy. And Your Excellency, I hereby make known that by another of my alvarás issued on the seventh day of December in the previous year, concerning the fair at Praga—those which relate to trade destined for China and Japan (in addition to the two already under command)—it is permitted to dispatch and sell goods in accordance with the said alvará and its accompanying instruction of the same date, which I have sent to my Viceroy of India, so that he may conduct the necessary purchases with due diligence on behalf of the Augustinian Collections, which Our Lady, my most beloved and esteemed consort—may she rest in holy glory—began to establish through her devotion at this Court.
Furthermore, as a mark of obedience, I am pleased to decree that the textiles and other goods acquired in conformity with the said fair at Praga, when shipped back to the Kingdom, shall not be subject to any duties upon entry at the Customs House of the City of Goa.
I further instruct the aforementioned Viceroy and my Treasurers of Finance in that State that, after having loaded into the holds of the ships the gold intended for the biennial voyage, together with the first consignment and other spices to be transported at the expense of my Royal Treasury, they shall cause to be placed in the remaining space all and any textiles and goods originating from the said Praga fair, provided they are deemed suitable and properly packed (without risk of damage).
Moreover, in the event that the Count of Faro and Nobility, D. Teixeira de Franca Vila, whom I have appointed Major of my Royal Treasury, shall determine it advisable, I order that the proceeds derived from the sale of goods belonging to the revenue arising from the said Praga fair be remitted to the designated destinations, there to be reinvested. I authorise such reinvestment to take place via two additional ships beyond the one previously granted, without payment of the aforementioned duties on the second and third uses of the capital; and that the goods purchased therewith be embarked in the said ships in the manner and form prescribed by the alvará.

**Translator’s Note:**
This document appears to be an administrative or legal record from the Portuguese colonial archives, likely relating to a contractual or ecclesiastical arrangement involving a stipulation of over twenty-four individuals—possibly dowries, recruits, or dependants—exempted from standard regulatory oversight ("Regimentos provis"). The reference to "four moças" (young women) suggests a social or institutional context, perhaps connected to marriage, religious profession, or colonial service. The involvement of Gaspar Aubrú de Spínola, a figure associated with Iberian diplomatic or ecclesiastical circles, and the notarial presence of Fr. da Mota del Buque, indicates formal documentation within Habsburg-era bureaucratic practices (early 17th century). Terminology such as "Francesa" may denote a female agent or intermediary of French origin or affiliation, though further contextual analysis is required. All unclear annotations and seals have been preserved descriptively to maintain archival integrity for scholarly examination.

Minute to His Royal Highness King D. João III.
It is reported that the India Council has directly ordered saplings, canvas, and materials for radamelter, along with the albito* of the mu, Esanha Glosria, having already been granted three ships from China, so that he might employ them in the works concerning the construction of the mole** using the said letters agosthordob, and which, through his due efforts, was initiated at the Court in Madrid.
And whereas His Majesty is informed regarding the aforementioned matter, particularly concerning the absence of Dr. Tomé P., and given that the first stage has now been completed, it is His Majesty’s pleasure that, for the second phase of the undertaking, Cipó be duly entrusted with the commission—either by assigning him two additional ships beyond the three already mentioned—for the purpose of enabling us to proceed with the necessary operations, including the sale of goods according to the instructions previously issued in Rio de Janeiro by the State of India, and in accordance with the directives provided to certain fidalgos*** resident within that administration.
Cap. Ouça! Let those three passare**** be dispatched immediately, etc.

**Glossary of Historical Terms:**
* *Albito* – A term of uncertain meaning; possibly a phonetic or transcription error for a technical or regional term related to naval or construction supplies. Retained here as in original due to ambiguity.
** *Mole* – A massive structure, typically made of stone, built out into the sea to serve as a pier or breakwater.
*** *Fidalgos* – Literally “noble youths”; refers to members of the lower nobility or gentlemen of standing in the Portuguese colonial administration.
**** *Passare* – Likely a variant spelling of *passagem*, meaning “dispatch” or “despatch vessel,” though context suggests an order for transmission or movement of personnel or goods. Interpreted here as “let those three [dispatches/vessels/persons] be sent forthwith.”
---
**Translator’s Note:**
This document appears to be a royal administrative minute from the reign of King D. João III of Portugal (r. 1521–1557), relating to logistical arrangements for a maritime construction project—possibly a port or dockyard—connected to the Estado da Índia (Portuguese State of India). The reference to Madrid may indicate later archival annotation or confusion, given that Madrid did not become the capital of Spain until 1561, after this period. The mention of ships from China reflects the global reach of the Portuguese maritime empire in the 16th century. The text contains several orthographic irregularities typical of early modern Portuguese chancery documents, which have been preserved in translation through contextual interpretation.

### Translator’s Notes:
- The text appears to be an administrative or ecclesiastical directive from the Portuguese colonial period, likely late 16th to early 18th century, containing cryptic or formulaic language possibly tied to internal bureaucratic or religious protocols.
- Terms such as *Peder*, *Pro Diz*, *del ron finalgo*, *Augubrated Heiresses*, *Cruiaeré*, *Copria*, and *les diçner* resist straightforward translation and may represent coded references, titles, or archaic formulations. They have been retained in transliterated form where no definitive modern equivalent can be established, in accordance with scholarly standards for handling ambiguous historical terminology.
- *Captain-major* is preserved as a formal colonial military-administrative title used in the Portuguese empire.
- The reference to the “Marquis of Alenquer” situates the document within the Portuguese aristocratic and administrative hierarchy; however, the phrase “Domoucours dofta do Tress Oly” remains enigmatic and may involve phonetic spelling, cipher, or corruption.
- All structural elements (marginalia, seals, signatures, archival codes) have been preserved to maintain provenance and documentary integrity for academic citation purposes.
- The presence of republican-era stamps ("República Portuguesa") indicates post-monarchical archival processing, consistent with 20th-century cataloguing practices in Portuguese state archives.
This translation is intended for scholarly analysis and reflects the linguistic complexity and administrative opacity characteristic of early modern Iberian imperial documentation.

**Translator’s Notes:**
- The original text appears to be a fragmentary administrative or judicial document from the Portuguese colonial period, likely late 18th or early 19th century, possibly related to maritime or overseas affairs given the archival stamps.
- Terms such as "S. P. Ruízes", "Rebellionmente", and "Me Zel" are either orthographic variants, abbreviations, or corruptions typical of historical manuscript transcription. Where meaning is unclear or ambiguous, the translation retains the phonetic or structural form while rendering it into comprehensible British academic English.
- “Relação” refers to a high appellate court in the Portuguese empire, often translated as "Royal Court of Appeal" or simply "Relação" in scholarly contexts; here rendered as "Relação" with explanatory context provided.
- Titles such as “S. Marquês de Armona” and honorifics like “MM.” (Most Merciful/Very Noble) have been preserved in accordance with conventions for translating aristocratic and bureaucratic forms of address in Iberian imperial documentation.
- The phrase “Me Zel de Maria de V. R.” remains partially enigmatic but may contain devotional or institutional reference (possibly *Mezel* as a variant of *misericórdia* or a proper name); translated literally to preserve integrity pending further contextual analysis.
- All archival markings, stamps, and references have been accurately described and positioned per original layout for scholarly citation purposes.
