| Summary: | A fragmentary 17th-century Portuguese colonial administrative document, likely originating from the Estado da Índia, this manuscript record details matters of local governance, tribute collection, and ecclesiastical authority. Written in dark ink using contemporary cursive script, the text exhibits significant orthographic irregularities, manual corrections, and areas of illegibility due to degradation. It references the administration of an oath in 1506 related to the Inquisition’s Abjuration, with subsequent annotations concerning the abolition of associated obligations and the non-enforcement of royal fiscal rights, particularly the Vintuam tax collected by O Amorini Joubert ma and transferred to the procurator Fr. Azemai. The document records the tenure of João de Gedia (Athene Iesazinos) as Josias b cap within the diocese of Comunidade, appointed on the 26th day of D. Ioannem aus demyr m cumpre serie, under the contested authority of Inquisitor Porfub Goo, whose improper bestowal of donofio E com dad de sedemnfa is noted. Toponyms such as Gonza anca na abrobin and figures including Mossiab Aalancals dino, Bico Cevina, and Janes Gelen are mentioned within a complex administrative and religious framework. Marginal annotations include "Joa.", "Sedem.", and a partially erased "C.", while a decorative but illegible signature appears at the conclusion. A partial archival reference (AHU_CU_Índia, Cx. 14, D. 84) is visible in the lower right corner. This document provides critical insight into colonial bureaucratic practices, Inquisitorial jurisdiction, and fiscal administration in early modern Portuguese Asia. |
