| Summary: | This abstract describes a historical transcription of the fifth volume of the Jesuit Mission to the Kingdom of Tonkin, covering the years 1691–1700. The document is a manuscript copy transcribed on 1 June 1746 by João Álvares from original materials held in the sacristy of the Province of Japan at the College of the Mother of God of the Society of Jesus in Macau. It bears a marginal notation dated 47 VI 1r and a second marginal note dated 49 VI 1v, indicating its pagination and subsequent handling. A faint, illegible stamp—possibly bearing a royal crown—is present. On 1 January 1747, the volume was dispatched from Macau to the Procuratorship of the Province of Japan in Lisbon aboard the ship *São Pedro e São João*. The text explicitly states that the volume remains the property of the Province of Japan and was not intended for permanent retention in Lisbon, owing to concerns about loss or unauthorised retention by officials. The document thus serves as a critical administrative and ecclesiastical record documenting the transmission, custody, and jurisdictional ownership of Jesuit missionary archives across imperial and religious networks linking Macau, Lisbon, and Tonkin during the early modern period. Its provenance, date of transcription, named scribe, shipping details, and explicit statements regarding ownership and custodial intent render it a valuable primary source for historians examining Jesuit archival practices, colonial knowledge circulation, and ecclesiastical administration in East Asia and the Portuguese empire.
