description The article reconstructs and interprets the historical links between Macau and the eastern part of Timor (from the 16th to the 20th century), arguing that, although historiography tends to privilege contemporary political contacts, these connections were sustained by maritime circulations, commercial networks, and information transfers that were insularly out of phase. The analysis articulates a contextual framework — including the reception of Timorese in Macau during the political-military crisis that postponed the refounding of independence (until 2001) — with a documentary investigation of a historical and cartographic nature. Along this path, the author highlights the manuscript attributed to Francisco Rodrigues, a pilot and cartographer who participated in the Portuguese reconnaissance voyages between Malacca and the Moluccas, arguing that the work combines nautical itineraries and a cartographic atlas that includes the first European representation of the island of Timor. By confronting the spatial drawing and the navigation route with the system of goods circulation, it concludes that Timor was not only known but also integrated into regional trade routes, with sandalwood identified as the axis of demand and economic valuation. The study therefore proposes a connective history in which cartography, luxury product, and maritime networks function as fundamental mediations between the two territories.
