The Company

Books are our specialty!

AD VERBUM EDITORIAL  is a small business founded in 2008 by publisher and translator  Jacira Cardoso, a professional with pioneering experience in publishing books on  Anthroposophy in Brazil, dating back to 1976. (Click  here  to watch a short video about her professional journey.)


Ad verbum  is a Latin expression meaning “word for word.” In this spirit, AD VERBUM EDITORIAL aims to offer:

  • Professional care in editing texts, both for clarity and fluency and for linguistic accuracy, with special attention to the New Orthographic Agreement of the Portuguese Language and ABNT bibliographic standards.
  • Book design that meets the highest editorial standards and criteria.
  • Professional support in presenting anthroposophical texts appropriately to the general public, as well as academic, business, and student audiences.
  • Carefully crafted editorial projects in literary, poetic, children’s and young adult, and other genres.


AD VERBUM EDITORIAL does not sell books; it provides editorial services, and its clients own the resulting inventories and sell them.

With few exceptions, all books produced are available for purchase at Editora Antroposófica’s online bookstore:  www.antroposofica.com.br
