| Summary: | This abstract describes a diplomatic and ecclesiastical document from the *Diplomatic Codex of Lusitania*, Volume IV, compiled by Emmanuel Pereyra Sampayo, Knight of Avarti and Abbot of Ponilimense, and published in the nineteenth or early twentieth century as a scholarly transcription of earlier archival material. The core text is a papal bull, dated Rome, Saint Peter’s, 10 February 1555 (the fourth year of the pontificate), issued by Pope Gregory XIII (identified as ‘Gregorius, Bishop, Servant of the Servants of God’), formally erecting the Cathedral Church of Machaonensis (also termed Sinensis or Machao) under the invocation of the Blessed Mary. The bull was promulgated at the instance of King Sebastian of Portugal and Algarve, and concerns the establishment of a new episcopal see in Machao—a port city situated within Portuguese-controlled territories encompassing parts of China, Japan, and adjacent islands and lands. It details the appointment of the first Bishop of Machaonensis, confers episcopal jurisdiction, assigns ecclesiastical benefices and revenues (including an annual dotation of four hundred ducats), grants privileges and immunities equivalent to other cathedral churches, and affirms royal patronage rights, including presentation to benefices. The document reflects the interplay of papal authority, Portuguese colonial administration, and Catholic missionary expansion in East Asia during the mid-sixteenth century. |
