Observação: “What was known as a kingdom of Kongo then was situated in West Central Africa in what is today part of northern Angola. It also makes up the western part of the modern Democratic Republic of Kongo as well as the southern part of Gabon.” (Lingna Nafafé, 2022, p. 1)

• Archivio della Propaganda Fide (Archives of Propaganda Fide, APF), S.O.C.G., Vol. 495a; “Indie Orientali, Sig. Card. Azzolino; Indie Orientali, Die 19 Jannuarij 1686, Signitures”, 19th January 1686, folio 58, “Seconda reclamazione à N’tro Sig.re, et alla S:ma Mad. Chiesa Reclamando Giuttitia”, “Beatist:mo Pd:re Em.mie Rev.mi Sig.ri” - [Second complaint to Our Lord, and Saint Mother Church claiming Justice], [Most Blessed Fathers, Most Eminent and Most Reverend Lords]. Terms such as ‘complaint’ [reclamazione… Reclamando], ‘doghaàze’ and ‘nicorhi’ [complaints and appeals] referred to a court case. 

Observação: “Folios 54, 55, 56, 57, 58 60, 62 were kept in the file signed as C. “Alla Sacra Congregato.ne d. PropagandaFide Per la Gente Nere e Parde natè nel Brazile, Portugalle, e Spagna” [“to the Congregation of Propaganda Fide for the Black People and dual heritage born in Brazil, Portugal, and Spain”], was the name given to folio 59. However, folios 54, 55, 56 and 62 dealt with the method deployed for capturing Africans to enslave them, and folio 62 gave the solution to end the enslavement of the Africans. This was the solution adopted by the Vatican. Folio 62 was fundamental to ending slavery. The confraternities wrote the folio 62 to express their frustrations with the Vatican, as they pushed for their strong desire to end slavery. Before this, the folio was kept in the file. Hence, it did not draw the attention of those dealing with the issues of slavery. I have given great attention to the documentation to highlight the importance of the folios as they are often misunderstood because they are inconsistently arranged in the file. It makes it easy for the reader to miss some of the folios. Folios 56r, 57, 58, 59, 60r and 60v are put in between 60 and 62. For researchers such as [Richard] Gray, this might have prevented them from putting together the pieces of their analyses. Thus, Gray missed out on the legal argument of the confraternities. Moreover, folio 56, which was a letter from Madrid detailing the conversation between Cardinal Milini, the Marquise of Astorga and the Prince of Gonzaga, dated 20th April 1684, was misplaced in the file. Likewise, folios 57r and 57v dated 1st May 1684, were another letter from the Vatican Nuncio in Lisbon, misplaced in the file. Folio 58 contains the appeal to the case.” (Lingna Nafafé, 2022, p. 5)
