José Pedro Machado

José Pedro Machado (born November 8, 1914 in Faro , † July 26, 2005 in Lisbon ) was a Portuguese Romanist , Arabist and lexicographer.

life and work

Machado grew up in Lisbon, was a student of Manuel Marques Braga (1877-1964), studied Romance philology at the university there with David Lopes and graduated in 1938 with a thesis on the arabisms in the dictionary of Antenor Nascentes . The planned activity as a lecturer in Algiers failed when the war broke out. Discrepancies during his assistantship at the university caused him to switch to high school, where he remained until his retirement in 1979 (in Lisbon). But also outside of the university he developed a wide-ranging academic activity, mainly of a lexicographical nature, which earned him numerous honors and memberships in academies and scientific societies, namely as Académico de Número (later de Mérito ) in the Academia Portuguesa da História . Machado was married to the Romanist Elza Paxeco Machado .
