Emanuel Araújo


Emanuel Araújo or Emanuel Oliveira de Araújo, was a Brazilian educator.
Araújo became fluent in many modern languages and also in some classic languages such as Ancient Greek, Latin, Hebrew and Old Egyptian. This greatly influenced his work as a history professor at the Universidade Federal da Bahia and also at the Universidade de Brasília where he obtained his doctorate degree.
One of Araújo's main works is the book A construção do livro - Princípios da técnica de editoração. This publication was prefaced by Antônio Houaiss, a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters, the head editor of the Dicionário Houaiss da Língua Portuguesa, one of the major reference dictionaries for the Portuguese language.
