MARIA I] FÁBRICAS DE LANIFÍCIOS — Privilégios, Regulação e Concessões . 5 diplomas régios; Portugal, 1766–1788; Lisboa, Palácio de Nossa Senhora da Ajuda. A collection of five royal decrees concerning the woolen factories of the Kingdom, covering a period of promotion, regulation, and partial privatization of these manufactures, from King José I to Queen Maria I. Legislation on woolen products was one of the cornerstones of Pombaline and post-Pombaline industrial policy, with particular impact in the Beira region—Covilhã, Fundão, and Celorico da Beira—where the tradition of woolen cloth manufacturing was centuries old. 14 Nov 1766 (D. José I) — Declares and expands the Royal Decree of 11 August 1759 and the Regulation of 7 January 1690 for the governance and expansion of the Woolen Mills of the three Districts of Beira; normative basis for the modern regulation of the sector. January 25, 1781 (Queen Maria I) — Regulates the wool factories and administration of the town of Covilhã; sets prices and defines the responsibilities of the Board of Administration of the Kingdom's Factories. April 7, 1788 (Queen Maria I) — Conditions under which the Crown hands over the Royal Woolen Mill of Portalegre to Anselmo José da Cruz Sobral and Gerardo Venceslão Braamcamp; establishes the terms of the concession to private entrepreneurs. June 3, 1788 (Queen Maria I) — Handing over the woolen factories of Covilhã and Fundão, with buildings, workshops, and troop uniforms, to a consortium of five businessmen; a central document in the partial privatization of royal manufactures. August 11, 1788 (Queen Maria I) — Grants privileges, exemptions, and favors for a specified period to the Woolen Mill of Captain Simão Pereira da Silva, in Covilhã and Celorico da Beira, and to all similar mills in the Kingdom. This collection documents the transition from a model of royal factories directly administered by the State to a system of concession and private management under royal supervision, a policy characteristic of the Marian period. It is of interest for the study of Portuguese economic and industrial history in the pre-liberal period. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
