Last edition of the Constitutions of the Archbishopric of Lisbon, first published in Lisbon, Germão Galharde, 1537. In 1565, the Extravagant Constitutions were printed, ordered by Cardinal D. Henrique, then Archbishop of Lisbon. A new edition of this was made in 1569, followed by another, printed by Belchior Rodrigues, in 1588, containing the Constitutions themselves, as well as the Extravagant ones. In the 17th century, a new edition was printed by Paulo Craesbeeck in 1646 and 1656, the latter with the addition of a Repertoire organized by Jorge Serrão. Finally, this one.
The 17th century editions, on which the 17th century edition is based, were commissioned by D. Rodrigo da Cunha, one of the most energetic and enthusiastic defenders of Portuguese independence when Philip II ascended the throne. After an ecclesiastical career in which he held the mitres of Porto and Braga, he was appointed archbishop of Lisbon, a position he had refused to Philip III, by Philip IV, when the archbishop's chair became vacant following the death of D. João Manuel in 1635, with D. Rodrigo taking over the diocese the following year. In an attempt to reduce Portugal to the administrative and political status of a province of Spain, the Spanish government summoned several personalities to the court in Madrid to be heard on the matter. Among the first was D. Rodrigo da Cunha, who demonstrated strong opposition to the intention. Upon his return to Lisbon in 1639, D. Rodrigo was given a grand welcome by the people, who gave him a grand reception at the gates of Santo Antão. On May 30, 1639, D. Rodrigo celebrated a diocesan synod in which the Constitutions were established, later printed by Paulo Craesbeeck and of which the present one is a reprint.
