DURSTON, Alan. Ippolito Galante and the Quechua philology in 1930 and 1940. Lexis [online]. 2014, vol.38, n.2, pp.307-336. ISSN 0254-9239.

In the 1930s and 1940s, the Italian philologist and diplomat Ippolito Galante made the first critical editions of colonial texts in Quechua, including the Huarochirí Manuscript. He was also the founding director of the Institute of Philology of the Universidad Nacional de San Marcos, where he established a chair of Quechua in 1938. His legacy for Quechua philology and linguistics was significant and durable, but also had some key limitations. This article examines the career of Ippolito Galante and the political and cultural contexts of his Quechuist projects, especially the mixed reactions they provoked in Lima.
