| description | This document is a 17th-century letter of vassalage and colonial administration, dated 26 December 1642, written in Macao and addressed to a Portuguese royal authority. The author, identified as Pallado Escrito, presents a detailed account of the Island of Timor, describing its geographical location, natural resources, and the potential for Portuguese expansion and tribute. The letter outlines interactions with local rulers, including Rij Domacatas, and references the Captain of Solor, Linhas, who advocates for the conquest of Timor. It highlights the presence of Christian missionaries and the strategic interest in securing the island to counter Macassan influence and establish a tributary relationship. The document also mentions the availability of bamboo metal and gold, underscoring the economic motivations behind colonial ambitions. Written in a formal, period-appropriate style, it reflects the administrative and ideological frameworks of early modern Iberian colonial governance in Asia. This source provides valuable insights into Portuguese imperial strategy, indigenous relations, and resource exploitation in the East, and is a key primary material for research on colonial Southeast Asia and early modern global history.

I, your loyal subject of Your Royal Majesty, Antonio Fialho, son of [illegible], inform you by letters written from Sacatara while I was in the Kingdom of Macaca. I was summoned by Aluio of Portugal in the name of Your Royal Majesty as Rij Rij Onor. And that, with orders from Your Royal Majesty, I have remained in this city for several years so that you might benefit from the voyages that would come from there, and to show you the good ports of the region. And since he lacked the necessary funds to do so, I took it upon myself, at my own expense, to remain in this city before the ships of the voyage departed for the east, as the days allowed me to stay here for as long as I could, given the financial means at my disposal. I spoke with the Digario, who was a native of Macaca, and with other residents of the city, and it was generally understood that you would wish to remain in command in the east, and to continue the same duties that Antonio Fialho, son of [illegible], had written to the chief captain of the voyage and the governors of this city in Oezpedo. And in order that the residents who remained in this city might not deny you, before the news from Spain arrived, we were already united in the matter of those islands, and it was understood that twenty men would be sent from this city to them with all due haste. Word arrived the following day at Saluam: upon receiving the letters, the governor immediately ordered the residents of the city who were still there, the Vesinicos, to defend your city, offering them the royal sash in full, as long as they proved themselves to be of good service to Your Majesty. From the diligence shown in this year, and from the expenses I have incurred from my own estate, it is clear to this city that Antonio Fialho, son of [illegible], placed that command at the feet of Your Royal Majesty, so that as Rij Raj Onor, he might hold the position, since we are your loyal subjects, and that Your Royal Majesty might bestow many honours upon him, so that he might come to be known as the leader of my service. From the following years, I began to serve Your Royal Majesty in these parts, and I was appointed with certain official duties, so that Your Royal Majesty might be served by them in many ways. From the island of Detivior, I gave orders to Your Royal Majesty regarding a small city, which I estimate would be worth the effort to establish, and which Your Royal Majesty might inhabit, and in which you might remain, in order to discover the mines of Zamboz, of which there are many and of which I have much information. Our Notary, Augm., gave an account of the situation to Your Royal Majesty, for the benefit of all, since we are free subjects of Your Royal Majesty. In Macao, 20th December 1645.

António Gallo, Jurisconsult and Noble of the Estate of His Majesty, Commander of the Order of Christ
Elis, Captain and Governor of Damag Samilhan, of the Holy Office, Chief Captain of the said China. I hereby certify that I was sent by His Majesty King John the Third to this city of Demacão and other parts of the South in order that they might acclaim and entrust me with the administration. This was particularly necessary for the benefit of Portuguese merchants, as other parts of the Castilians were being approached, and I deliberated upon the matter, giving a forced circuit by way of vengeance for the land. With great expenditure from my own estate, I reached the fortified city of the land, the Jao Mayor, and was greatly hindered in my ability to secure the administration of this city due to lack of monetary resources. I heard and brought to your notice how Pascoal Barreto, married into a prominent family of the said city of Demacão, had been engaged in correspondence with the Spanish, whom I have always known to be a most zealous ally of the Republic, as well as informants of His Majesty, who had acted through certain envoys of the Count of Vergaração, who had negotiated between the two Crowns of Portugal and Castile. The noble and Portuguese were then attacked by Ruy, Lord John the Fourth, when he was in the city of Demacão, and after he left, I spoke with them regarding the monetary resources needed to assume the office.
The position was to be assumed through His Majesty’s authority, along with the envoys who were present there. Moreover, the more prominent residents of this city, who were gathered there, also gave the same warning before the ships departed for Mamba. Therefore, it was necessary for the city to prepare its inhabitants and concealments, which the said Pascoal Barreto did with great diligence and care, in collaboration with the other merchants. He presented me with a certified statement of the envoys of the said Macata, sworn to, which stated that it was impossible to find the mariners who had embarked on the said vessel. The said Pascoal Barreto, having a ship at his disposal without prior approval, was ordered to proceed to make the administration, and immediately lost the small sums of money that had been lent to him for the voyage.
Further, these sums were returned, and his ship was taken, which was the best available at the time, given the difficult nature of the enterprise and the necessity to await the embarkation of the said vessel. When the Lord’s ship left, he granted me the possibility to proceed with the administration, and did not break the great expenses incurred from my estate. It was the opinion of His Majesty that I should be acclaimed, and I received the necessary authorisations from the southern regions, which were well documented by the notices that were diligently transmitted and prepared in advance for where I would send my letters in secret to the Chief Captain of the Administration and the governors of the city of Cartagena, as well as to the governor of those islands, in order to inform them of the events and the land regarding the city of Demacão that was being pursued.
This notice had such an effect that the governor immediately ordered all the residents of this city to serve Spain and to be subject to the conditions of the said estate, which was entirely prepared for the event that the said expedition would proceed, as per the provisions made. More than that, if His Majesty should be pleased to grant me such authority, I am now requested by the said Pascoal Barreto to provide assurance that he, by oath upon the Holy Gospels, has sworn to affirm the truth of the natural and coastal situation below, as per his Majesty’s order. Macau, 9th of November, 1642.

I present to Your Royal Majesty this brief account of the Island of Timor, based on the considerable experience I have of it. This island lies thirty leagues south of the Island of Solor. It contains a large quantity of bamboo, which the Americans who live in this city use in various ways. Many parts of it do not produce much, but in the southern part there is a considerable amount of bamboo metal, finer than copper, which can be smelted for the making of wares or used to purify water. However, this bamboo metal does not need to be smelted, as it is already in a usable form. The bamboo is used to make large mats, and I have seen some of these. In the same southern region there is a quantity of gold that is mined in flakes, and the natives call this gold "domato", meaning it is of high value. Some time ago, the Macassans tried to take control of this island to kill the local people. However, when Your Majesty’s representative, Dom N.fo Inor, arrived with a large army, the Macassans had no success in their intentions.
I have been negotiating with the local ruler, the Rij Domacatas, about the possibility of conquering this island in the name of Your Majesty. He has been sending provisions to the captains of Solor, who are paid by Your Majesty. The Captain of the Islands of Solor and Timor, named Linhas, responded that these islands, which are not under tribute, have been entered so easily that no one has ever paid tribute to any king, and no one has ever conquered the Island of Timor. It is inhabited, but the first ruler to conquer it would be the one who would be acknowledged. This island is very feared, not because of firearms or weapons, but because of the people, who are as strong in arms as the island’s inhabitants. It is an island that could be brought under tribute in a short time, as the people are willing to offer it to the Macassans, provided that they would protect them from the pagans. Some of the local Christians have already been converted through the religious orders of the Preachers, and therefore, if Your Royal Majesty sees fit to bring this island under its rule and make it tributary, then it would be appropriate to send men from the city of Macao, with six calistas and some infantry and officers, in order to conquer it, as ordered by the Captain of Solor. Thus, Your Royal Majesty could derive considerable revenues from this island, both to cover the expenses of this city and to provide metal for the making of wares, as there is a lack of metal for the forge of Jaggad. Much Christianity has already been established here, with a considerable number of religious figures promoting it. Dom N.fo Inor has been appointed by Your Royal Majesty to protect all those of us who are loyal subjects of the Royal Majesty. In Macao, 26 December 1642.

I, your loyal subject of Your Royal Majesty, Antonio Fialho, son of [illegible], inform you by letters written from Sacatara while I was in the Kingdom of Macaca. I was summoned by Aluio of Portugal in the name of Your Royal Majesty as Rij Rij Onor. And that, with orders from Your Royal Majesty, I have remained in this city for several years so that you might benefit from the voyages that would come from there, and to show you the good ports of the region. And since he lacked the necessary funds to do so, I took it upon myself, at my own expense, to remain in this city before the ships of the voyage departed for the east, as the days allowed me to stay here for as long as I could, given the financial means at my disposal. I spoke with the Digario, who was a native of Macaca, and with other residents of the city, and it was generally understood that you would wish to remain in command in the east, and to continue the same duties that Antonio Fialho, son of [illegible], had written to the chief captain of the voyage and the governors of this city in Oezpedo. And in order that the residents who remained in this city might not deny you, before the news from Spain arrived, we were already united in the matter of those islands, and it was understood that twenty men would be sent from this city to them with all due haste. Word arrived the following day at Saluam: upon receiving the letters, the governor immediately ordered the residents of the city who were still there, the Vesinicos, to defend your city, offering them the royal sash in full, as long as they proved themselves to be of good service to Your Majesty. From the diligence shown in this year, and from the expenses I have incurred from my own estate, it is clear to this city that Antonio Fialho, son of [illegible], placed that command at the feet of Your Royal Majesty, so that as Rij Raj Onor, he might hold the position, since we are your loyal subjects, and that Your Royal Majesty might bestow many honours upon him, so that he might come to be known as the leader of my service. From the following years, I began to serve Your Royal Majesty in these parts, and I was appointed with certain official duties, so that Your Royal Majesty might be served by them in many ways. From the island of Detivior, I gave orders to Your Royal Majesty regarding a small city, which I estimate would be worth the effort to establish, and which Your Royal Majesty might inhabit, and in which you might remain, in order to discover the mines of Zamboz, of which there are many and of which I have much information. Our Notary, Augm., gave an account of the situation to Your Royal Majesty, for the benefit of all, since we are free subjects of Your Royal Majesty. In Macao, 20th December 1645.

António Gallo, Jurisconsult and Noble of the Estate of His Majesty, Commander of the Order of Christ
Elis, Captain and Governor of Damag Samilhan, of the Holy Office, Chief Captain of the said China. I hereby certify that I was sent by His Majesty King John the Third to this city of Demacão and other parts of the South in order that they might acclaim and entrust me with the administration. This was particularly necessary for the benefit of Portuguese merchants, as other parts of the Castilians were being approached, and I deliberated upon the matter, giving a forced circuit by way of vengeance for the land. With great expenditure from my own estate, I reached the fortified city of the land, the Jao Mayor, and was greatly hindered in my ability to secure the administration of this city due to lack of monetary resources. I heard and brought to your notice how Pascoal Barreto, married into a prominent family of the said city of Demacão, had been engaged in correspondence with the Spanish, whom I have always known to be a most zealous ally of the Republic, as well as informants of His Majesty, who had acted through certain envoys of the Count of Vergaração, who had negotiated between the two Crowns of Portugal and Castile. The noble and Portuguese were then attacked by Ruy, Lord John the Fourth, when he was in the city of Demacão, and after he left, I spoke with them regarding the monetary resources needed to assume the office.
The position was to be assumed through His Majesty’s authority, along with the envoys who were present there. Moreover, the more prominent residents of this city, who were gathered there, also gave the same warning before the ships departed for Mamba. Therefore, it was necessary for the city to prepare its inhabitants and concealments, which the said Pascoal Barreto did with great diligence and care, in collaboration with the other merchants. He presented me with a certified statement of the envoys of the said Macata, sworn to, which stated that it was impossible to find the mariners who had embarked on the said vessel. The said Pascoal Barreto, having a ship at his disposal without prior approval, was ordered to proceed to make the administration, and immediately lost the small sums of money that had been lent to him for the voyage.
Further, these sums were returned, and his ship was taken, which was the best available at the time, given the difficult nature of the enterprise and the necessity to await the embarkation of the said vessel. When the Lord’s ship left, he granted me the possibility to proceed with the administration, and did not break the great expenses incurred from my estate. It was the opinion of His Majesty that I should be acclaimed, and I received the necessary authorisations from the southern regions, which were well documented by the notices that were diligently transmitted and prepared in advance for where I would send my letters in secret to the Chief Captain of the Administration and the governors of the city of Cartagena, as well as to the governor of those islands, in order to inform them of the events and the land regarding the city of Demacão that was being pursued.
This notice had such an effect that the governor immediately ordered all the residents of this city to serve Spain and to be subject to the conditions of the said estate, which was entirely prepared for the event that the said expedition would proceed, as per the provisions made. More than that, if His Majesty should be pleased to grant me such authority, I am now requested by the said Pascoal Barreto to provide assurance that he, by oath upon the Holy Gospels, has sworn to affirm the truth of the natural and coastal situation below, as per his Majesty’s order. Macau, 9th of November, 1642.

I present to Your Royal Majesty this brief account of the Island of Timor, based on the considerable experience I have of it. This island lies thirty leagues south of the Island of Solor. It contains a large quantity of bamboo, which the Americans who live in this city use in various ways. Many parts of it do not produce much, but in the southern part there is a considerable amount of bamboo metal, finer than copper, which can be smelted for the making of wares or used to purify water. However, this bamboo metal does not need to be smelted, as it is already in a usable form. The bamboo is used to make large mats, and I have seen some of these. In the same southern region there is a quantity of gold that is mined in flakes, and the natives call this gold "domato", meaning it is of high value. Some time ago, the Macassans tried to take control of this island to kill the local people. However, when Your Majesty’s representative, Dom N.fo Inor, arrived with a large army, the Macassans had no success in their intentions.
I have been negotiating with the local ruler, the Rij Domacatas, about the possibility of conquering this island in the name of Your Majesty. He has been sending provisions to the captains of Solor, who are paid by Your Majesty. The Captain of the Islands of Solor and Timor, named Linhas, responded that these islands, which are not under tribute, have been entered so easily that no one has ever paid tribute to any king, and no one has ever conquered the Island of Timor. It is inhabited, but the first ruler to conquer it would be the one who would be acknowledged. This island is very feared, not because of firearms or weapons, but because of the people, who are as strong in arms as the island’s inhabitants. It is an island that could be brought under tribute in a short time, as the people are willing to offer it to the Macassans, provided that they would protect them from the pagans. Some of the local Christians have already been converted through the religious orders of the Preachers, and therefore, if Your Royal Majesty sees fit to bring this island under its rule and make it tributary, then it would be appropriate to send men from the city of Macao, with six calistas and some infantry and officers, in order to conquer it, as ordered by the Captain of Solor. Thus, Your Royal Majesty could derive considerable revenues from this island, both to cover the expenses of this city and to provide metal for the making of wares, as there is a lack of metal for the forge of Jaggad. Much Christianity has already been established here, with a considerable number of religious figures promoting it. Dom N.fo Inor has been appointed by Your Royal Majesty to protect all those of us who are loyal subjects of the Royal Majesty. In Macao, 26 December 1642.

| spelling | Carta de Pascoal Barreto a [D. João IV], rei de Portugal, sobre as notícias em Macau da aclamação de D. João IV, sobre a necessidade de se evitarem 5 viagens para Manila e outros portos castelhanos This document is a 17th-century letter of vassalage and colonial administration, dated 26 December 1642, written in Macao and addressed to a Portuguese royal authority. The author, identified as Pallado Escrito, presents a detailed account of the Island of Timor, describing its geographical location, natural resources, and the potential for Portuguese expansion and tribute. The letter outlines interactions with local rulers, including Rij Domacatas, and references the Captain of Solor, Linhas, who advocates for the conquest of Timor. It highlights the presence of Christian missionaries and the strategic interest in securing the island to counter Macassan influence and establish a tributary relationship. The document also mentions the availability of bamboo metal and gold, underscoring the economic motivations behind colonial ambitions. Written in a formal, period-appropriate style, it reflects the administrative and ideological frameworks of early modern Iberian colonial governance in Asia. This source provides valuable insights into Portuguese imperial strategy, indigenous relations, and resource exploitation in the East, and is a key primary material for research on colonial Southeast Asia and early modern global history.
