He was a co-editor of the Enciclopédia Mirador Internacional and the Enciclopédia Ilustrada do Brasil and published collections of documents. His A construção do livro – Princípios da técnica de editoração ("Construction of the Book: Principles of Editorial Technique"), published in 1986, was influential, and he was head of the University of Brasília Press in 1992 and 1993 and then served on its editorial board until his death.[2]
