description This article presents a contemporary historical account by the Jesuit Fernão Guerreiro concerning the Dutch assault on Macao in 1601, led by Admiral Jacob van Neck. Originally published in Lisbon in 1605 as part of the *Relação Anual*, the text serves as a vital primary source for understanding the defensive strategies and socio-religious dynamics of Macao at the turn of the 17th century. Drawing upon privileged access to missionary correspondence, Guerreiro provides a detailed reconstruction of the city's response to the arrival of the Dutch fleet. The narrative highlights Macao's significant military vulnerability at the time, noting the absence of formal walls or a standing garrison. Consequently, the Jesuit College of Saint Paul emerged as the primary site of refuge and defense for the local population and their property. Beyond the logistical aspects of the conflict, the text illuminates the intense religious atmosphere of the Counter-Reformation, which framed the treatment and ultimate suffering of the Dutch captives. By situating the 1601 episode within the broader context of Luso-Dutch rivalry in the South China Sea, this anthology entry—modernized by Rui Manuel Loureiro—offers profound insights into the pivotal role played by the Society of Jesus in both the moral and physical preservation of Macao during the early stages of European imperial clashes in East Asia.
