[SILVA REGO (António da), HAUPT (Jean), trad.]. LE PATRONAGE Portugais de l'Orient. Lisboa. 1957. - [SILVA REGO (António da), HAUPT (Jean), trad.] LE PATRONAGE Portugais de l'Orient . Aperçu historique par A. da Silva Rego. Traduit du Portugais par Jean Haupt. Lisboa: Agência Geral do Ultramar, 1957. XXVI, 340, [2] pp.; 230 mm. Translation of the original Portuguese work, *O Padroado Português do Oriente: Esboço Histórico* (The Portuguese Patronage of the East: Historical Outline), written in 1940 in Leuven, where the author worked under the direction of Fr. Pierre Charles SJ, who wrote the preface. The work does not intend to narrate the missionary achievements of the Patronage, but to trace the institutional history of this agreement between the Holy See and the Portuguese Crown, by which the King of Portugal held the exclusive right to organize and finance religious activities in the territories of the Empire, tracing the evolution of the institution from its origins to the 19th century. A reference work for the history of Portuguese Catholic missions in the East. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
