Abstract:This article revisits the historiography around the Foral of 1526, the initial document issued by the Comptroller of the Exchequer that embedded the Portuguese Crown within the administration of the gaunkaria, a form of agrarian landholding in Goa. It suggests that the Foral was constitutively a legal document that enacted a relationship between the sovereign, local territory, and community. This tends to be overlooked, as the Foral has been primarily accorded a place in the economic history of the gaunkaria. Over the centuries, complaints about revenue arrangements concerning the gaunkaria held the state accountable to the terms of the Foral as a pact that had been violated; an indication that the significance of the document had changed over time. The essay suggests that while the gaunkars may have disingenuously over-read the terms of the Foral, their interpretations constitute a significant political dimension to the document.

摘要：本文回顾了围绕 1526 年 Foral 的历史编纂，这是财政审计长发布的初始文件，将葡萄牙王室嵌入 gaunkaria 的管理中，gaunkaria 是果阿的一种农业土地形式。它表明《议事台》在本质上是一份法律文件，规定了主权、地方领土和社区之间的关系。这往往被忽视，因为 Foral 主要在 gaunkaria 的经济史上占有一席之地。几个世纪以来，有关 gaunkaria 的收入安排的投诉要求国家对 Foral 的条款负责，因为这是一项被违反的协议；表明该文件的重要性随着时间的推移而发生了变化。
