| Summary: | This archival document, referenced as snor 1124, comprises a formal petition dated 14 December 1643 in Lisbon and endorsed with supplementary annotations dated 8 December 1700 in Macau. It originates from Joana Roiz e Montelvão and was submitted by order of the Captain-Major and Governor of Macau, addressing the Portuguese monarch through the Council of State and the Council of the Treasury. The petition concerns the urgent dispatch of the *naus da Índia* fleet bound for China, delayed pending royal resolution of multiple consultations: first, the processing of official papers and issuance of royal commissions (*despachos*) for residents of Macau; second, the proposed transfer to Macau’s Council of four officers formerly stationed at the Macau Treasury Office—namely Secretary Francisco de Barros and Officials Zor de Nárias and Lumentos—cited for their expertise in ultramarine administration and finance; and third, logistical and provisioning matters related to the China voyage, as elaborated in Treasury Council consultations of 7 and 21 November 1643 and further urged by António Frallo Ferreira, procurator for the city of Macau. Endorsements include the notation ‘For the Governor’ and the signature of Angelo Embriques, identified as a judge, alongside later recollections by ‘de Souza’ referencing Affonso de Barros Caminha and confirming the continuity of administrative concerns across the late seventeenth century. The document is essential for studying Portuguese imperial administration, Macau’s governance, and Indo-Pacific maritime logistics in the early modern period. Obs.: Resolução favorável do rei quanto à passagem dos oficiais. Quanto às mercês para Macau, em que se recorra à Secretaria das Mercês. |
