| Summary: | This document is a 17th-century Portuguese colonial administrative record concerning maritime and commercial operations between the Portuguese Empire and China. Dated 1645, it originates from the Council discussions surrounding the commissioning of a vessel for trade and religious transport, highlighting the appointment of Christovão Ferreira as captain, later proposed to be replaced by his son-in-law Diogo Dias Coimbra due to health concerns. The text references the *Nauio Glauia*, the importance of carrying Christian artefacts, and the continuation of commercial relations with the Viceroy in India. It includes signatures and scribes such as João Delgado and Angelo Mouquerque, as well as mentions of the involvement of a friar and the Justisancia. The document provides insight into colonial governance, trade logistics, and religious administration in the Portuguese Empire during the early modern period. Due to its fragmented and archaic nature, the text is of particular value for scholars examining the administrative and ecclesiastical dimensions of Iberian colonial enterprises in Asia. Obs.: Resolução favorável do rei Anexos: Minuta desta consulta. 1645-02-20 - Parecer do Conselho Ultramarino sobre a preparação de um navio a enviar à China. |
