Luís Filipe Lindley Cintra

GCIP (5 March 1925 – 18 August 1991) was a prominent figure in Portuguese philology and linguistics. A prolific writer with over 80 published works.[1] Another special interest was the relationship between Galician and Portuguese, as evinced by his study of the dialects of Madeira (1990) and his plan, together with Manuel de Paiva Boléo and José G. Herculano de Carvalho, for a linguistic-ethnographic atlas of Portugal and Galicia (1960).[1] He is also co-author, with Celso Ferreira da Cunha, of a major work on Portuguese grammar, the Nova Gramática do Português Contemporâneo.[1]
