| Summary: | This document is a translation of a seventeenth-century Portuguese administrative resolution and council representation, dated 28 January 1647, from the Council in Goa to King John IV. The text concerns the logistical organisation of a military and naval expedition to Portuguese India, specifically addressing the dispatch of vessels and infantry from Lisbon. Key figures mentioned include the Marquis, Jorge de Castro, Jorge de Albuquerque, and João Delgado Digueira, who signed the document, alongside the scribe João Miguel Pacheco. The resolution details the appointment of vessels, the urgent arming of ships for Ceylon, and the necessity of writing to the Viceroy and Captain-General. The Council petitions the King to execute the decree through the Conselho da Fazenda, discusses the routing of a supply ship to Lisbon due to navigational difficulties and a lack of experienced pilots, and notes the need for notification of vessels departing Lisbon for India. The document provides primary evidence of colonial administrative procedures, naval logistics, and the governance of the Estado da Índia during the mid-seventeenth century, reflecting the Crown’s efforts to sustain its overseas territories. Obs.: Resolução do rei de 1647-02-21, mandando avisar o Conselho da Fazenda para que se execute o referido decreto. |
