Antonio José Saraiva

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

António José Saraiva (born December 31, 1917 in Leiria , † March 17, 1993 in Lisbon ) was a Portuguese Romanist and Lusitanist . He was the older brother of the historian, lawyer and minister in the Estado Novo regime, José Hermano Saraiva .

life and work

Saraiva studied in Lisbon. He graduated in 1938 and received his doctorate in 1942 with the thesis Gil Vicente eo fim do teatro medieval (Lisbon 1942). In 1944 he joined the Communist Party of Portugal ( Partido Comunista Português ) (left in 1962) and was a high school teacher from 1946 to 1949. In 1949 he was temporarily arrested for political reasons.

Since he was denied a university career in Portugal , he went to France in 1960 and did research at the Collège de France (with Marcel Bataillon ), then at the Center national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) (from 1966 with Fernand Braudel ). An emigration to Brazil failed in 1964 due to the political conditions there.

From 1970 to 1974 Saraiva was a full professor of Portuguese at the University of Amsterdam . Then he was able to return to Portugal and until his retirement he was professor in Lisbon, first at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa , from 1978 for Romance Philology at the University of Lisbon .
