Manuel Antonio Carreño Muñoz (Caracas, June 17, 1812 – París, September 4, 1874) was a Venezuelan musician, teacher and diplomat.[1] He reached many important goals in the field of diplomacy and teaching during his lifetime. He founded the prestigious Colegio Roscio and translated works like *Reasoned, historical and dogmatic Catechism of Abbe Thériou and Introduction to the method to study the Latin language of Jean-Louis Burnouf into Spanish.
In 1853, with the publication of his Manual of Urbanity and Good Manners, he entered history with the nickname of "Manual of Carreño", a sesquicentennial book that teaches and trains the individual in the management of decency, essential to the education of tens of generations, and was reissued numerous times. He served as foreign minister and Finance minister of Venezuela. After his resignation from the latter post due to the Federal War, he left the country, living in New York and then in Paris, where he died.
