Joaquim Teófilo Fernandes Braga, commonly known as Teófilo (sometimes Theophilo) Braga (pronounced|tiˈɔfilu ˈbɾagɐ; Ponta Delgada, Azores, February 24 1843-Lisbon, January 28 1924), was a Portuguese politician, writer and playwright. His debut in literature was "Folhas Verdes" (Green Leaves). He graduated in Law from the University of Coimbra and soon departed to Lisbon in 1872 where he taught literature. Of his literary career one can find book on history of literature, ethnography (mainly his search on popular stories and tradicional songs), poetry, fiction and philosophy.

He married in 1878 Maria do Carmo Xavier (Porto, November 14, 1841 - September 14, 1911), sister of Júlio de Matos, and had three children, all of whom died young: Joaquim, who died in childhood, Maria da Graça and Teófilo Braga.

Politics

Teófilo Braga became active in Portuguese politics in 1878, when he ran for deputy representing the federalist republicans. He occupied many posts in the structure of the Portuguese Republican Party. On January 1 1910 he became an effective member of the Politics Directory of the party joining Basílio Teles, Eusébio Leão, José Cupertino Ribeiro and José Relvas.

On August 28 1910 he was elected deputy for Lisbon and on October 5 of the same year, with the Proclamation of the Republic, he became President of the Provisional Government. His political career ended after serving briefly as President of the Republic, replacing Manuel de Arriaga between May 29 and August 4 1915. He is buried at the Jerónimos Monastery in Belém, near Lisbon.
