This volume consists of a set of papers presented at a colloquium at Pontifica Universidad Catolica in Lima, Peru, on September 7-8, 1994, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Friedrich Max Uhle's death. The publication includes all of the papers presented at the meeting, with an additional paper by Cerron-Palomino who was invited to fill a gap dealing with Uhle's linguistic contributions, plus another paper by Hampe, which had been presented at a Berlin symposium in 1994, also held to honor Uhle. The volume is divided into two parts: the first part of 171 pages including 8 chapters by various commentators evaluating Max Uhle's works, and the second part of 184 pages, consisting of the translation into Spanish of five of the major works of Uhle originally published in German (or English) along with a short introduction, and an updated bibliography of the works of Uhle.
