| Summary: | Administrative and fiscal documents from the Portuguese imperial bureaucracy, primarily dating between 1611 and 1677, preserved in colonial archives such as the Arquivo de Marinha e Ultramar and the Arquivo Histórico Nacional. The materials consist of royal alvarás, financial mandates, and procedural instructions issued under the authority of the Portuguese Crown, concerning the allocation of revenue streams—specifically *Dragens de China*, fiscal instruments linked to Asian trade—for religious foundations, particularly the construction and maintenance of an Augustinian nunnery at the court of Madrid. Key figures include Queen D. Maria Francisca de Saboia, King Pedro II of Portugal, and administrative officials such as Isidoro da Índia and Gaspar d’Alenquer. The documents detail disbursements for ecclesiastical projects, authorisations for voyages to Japan, and logistical arrangements involving the Estado da Índia, including ship provisioning, cargo prioritisation, and customs exemptions in Goa. Additional records concern adjudication of vessels, reinvestment of commercial proceeds, and personnel deployment, reflecting the integration of colonial finance, royal patronage, and Catholic institutional development within Iberian imperial governance. Marginal annotations, archival codes (e.g., M7A3, AHU_CU_Índia), and official seals indicate provenance from centralised bureaucratic record-keeping systems. The corpus provides critical insight into Habsburg-era administrative practices, cross-dynastic religious initiatives, and the fiscal mechanisms underpinning Portugal’s maritime empire.
