Francisco de Paula de Figueiredo

Born in 1768 in Aveiro, Portugal, Francisco de Paula de Figueiredo is listed by the Digital Library of Literature from Lusophone Countries as a Portuguese writer who also used the pseudonym Palemo. The same source records that he died in Porto in 1803.

The works most clearly tied to him in library records include Santarenaida: poema herói-cômico, published in 1792, and Sermões, whose first volume appeared in 1803. Those titles show a writer working across both literary and religious forms, which fits his identification in some records as Padre Francisco de Paula de Figueiredo.

Although detailed biographical information appears to be scarce online, the surviving catalog entries point to a small but distinctive body of work in Portuguese print culture at the end of the 18th century.
