Abstract

The text aims to analyze the strategies adopted by The Chamber of Olinda regarding the use of pecuniary legacy under its guard, belonging to the orphans of the captaincy of Pernambuco, without the prior royal authorization, which smote the provisions of the doctrine and legislation, notably what the Philippine Ordinances (1603) refer to. Also throughout the text, the reflections seek to reveal the close relationship between the historical and paleographic knowledge to the writing of history in the temporality of colonial Brazil in its political and administrative side.
