A presente dissertação procura analisar a atuação da Procuradoria jesuíta, em Macau, através do estudo da vida e carreira de sete Procuradores da Província do Japão e Vice-Província da China: os Irmãos Manuel de Figueiredo (1589–1663), Belchior Ribeiro (1589–1671), António de Torres (1593–1680), Manuel dos Reis (1635–1669) e Luís de Figueiredo (c. 1622–1705); e os Padres Giovanni Francesco De Ferrariis (1609–1671) e Gonçalo da Fonseca (1618–1662). A historiografia associada à Companhia de Jesus e aos tópicos económico-financeiros tem atribuído muito pouco destaque a estas figuras, pese embora a sua atuação tenha sido vital para a sobrevivência das Missões jesuítas espalhados pelo globo e nos processos de circulação de gente, produtos e conhecimento no período moderno. Este trabalho constitui um contributo para o alargamento do conhecimento sobre o cargo e as suas implicações. Pretende, pois, lançar uma nova luz sobre o papel dos Procuradores, analisando os padrões, as diferenças e as semelhanças que caracterizaram as suas trajetórias; os períodos no ofício e sucessão; as rivalidades e dilemas éticos vividos no Colégio de Macau, bem como as múltiplas redes que, à escala global, estes administradores económico-financeiros foram gerindo, ao colocarem em circulação correspondência, dinheiro, pessoas, bens e conhecimento.
This dissertation seeks to analyze the work of the Jesuit Procurator's established in Macau through the study of the lives and careers of seven Procurators of the Province of Japan and Vice-Province of China: Brothers Manuel de Figueiredo (1589–1663), Belchior Ribeiro (1589–1671), António de Torres (1593–1680), Manuel dos Reis (1635-1669) and Luís de Figueiredo (c. 1622–1705); and Fathers Giovanni Francesco De Ferrariis (1609–1671) and Gonçalo da Fonseca (1618–1662). The historiography associated with the Society of Jesus and economic and financial topics has paid little attention to these figures, even though their work was crucial to the survival of the Jesuit missions around the world. This work is a contribution to broadening knowledge about this still largely unexplored position. Aims, therefore, to shed new light on the role of the Procurators, analysing the patterns, differences and similarities that marked their trajectories; the periods in office and succession; the rivalries and ethical dilemmas experienced at the College of Macau, as well as the multiple networks that they managed, on a global scale, through the circulation of correspondence, money, people, goods, and knowledge.
