This legal and institutional work is dedicated to the Patriarchal Church of Lisbon, compiling and organizing the titles, diplomas, and legal foundations of its creation, endowment, and prerogatives. The Codex titulorum documents the canonical and royal framework of the Patriarchate during the reign of King John V, a period of particular affirmation of the ecclesiastical and symbolic power of Lisbon. It is an essential volume for the study of the institutional history of the Portuguese Church in the 18th century, closer to a documentary repertoire than a narrative, conceived for scholarly and administrative use. According to Borba de Morais, who cites a petition by Alexandre de Gusmão, the work was almost entirely written by that author. Alexandre de Gusmão (1695–1753), a native of Brazil, was one of the most influential figures in Portuguese diplomacy and political culture during the reign of King John V. Educated in France, where he came into contact with the European intellectual environment, he returned to Portugal to serve the Crown as a royal advisor and diplomat, playing a central role in international negotiations, notably the Treaty of Madrid (1750). A man of vast legal and historical erudition, he produced numerous texts of a political, diplomatic, and institutional nature. ! Please note that this translated text was generated by Google. !
