| Summary: | This archival transcription comprises three distinct but interrelated legal, administrative, and ecclesiastical documents originating from the Portuguese colonial sphere between 1623 and 1806. The first segment, dated 700 réis of the *Sociedade de Seguraria* (contextually aligned with early nineteenth-century Brazil), records a contested debt dispute concerning the Robigan inheritance before Magistrate Ester Lus, involving Vanijo de Seamo as *Capitão-mor*, plaintiffs identified as Robigan’s heirs, and a defendant counter-claiming 3,004 réis for *acebo*, with F. Og Reurop—a colonial administrative official likely serving as *Fiscal ou Ouvidor da Relação de Pernambuco*—attaching the estate of Carir in the present year. The second document, dated 18 April 1623, details the post-dissolution transfer of Jesuit assets—including a substantial library, confessional structures, and *pelourinhos*—from the dissolved novitiate in Sinés parish to the Overseas Bishopric, under the authority of Dom Inácio de Benevides (Governor of the Patranilhadas), Dom Sebastião Mendes (Bishop of Ceilão), and Dom Diogo Soares, with involvement of Reverend Father Manuel Soares da Silva, S.J., and soldier Aldalide of Dotte Geoong Deluaras. The third segment, commencing 18 August 1643 at Valló, documents Tomás de Souza Calderón’s appointment as *estat* for *provas grandes*, Friar António Peres’s designated advisory role regarding *comendas*, interception by Dom Develló, deliberations on Christian consolidation (*cristandade*), and the maritime detention and ransom of individuals from Selvanato by ‘cervigos’ and subsequent negotiation with Dom Nilo dos Santos and merchants of the Estado da Índia. |
