Emanuel Araújo or Emanuel Oliveira de Araújo (December 24, 1942 in Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil – July 15, 2000 in Brasília, Brazil), 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 (Rio de Janeiro, Editora Nova Fronteira, 1986).
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.
