This contribution is product of the work conducted by the authors for the Project “Network of Knowledge” (financed by the Austrian Science Fund FWF 2012-2016, project number P 24400-G15, elaborated, proposed and directed by Bernhard Hurch), at the University of Graz, Austria. Even though the financed project has already concluded, the working on the archive of Hugo Schuchardt continues (see the website Hugo Schuchardt Archiv). This paper, resulting of the fusion of three articles of both authors related to the project, intents to show the importance of studying the contacts between scholars for the history of linguistics. The first part gives some background information about Hugo Schuchardt (1842-1927) and Rodolfo Lenz (1863-1938), followed by a brief introduction of the project “Network of Knowledge” and the Hugo Schuchardt Archive and a short historiographical contexualization (cf. Hurch 2009a, 2009b, 2009c). The second part of the article deals with the letter exchange between Lenz and Schuchardt. Besides a short description of the correspondence inside the Archivo Lenz, comments will be made in regard to the letters and to the theoretical agreement between both authors in respect to the creole languages. The third part of this contribution contains the transcribed correspondence of Lenz and Schuchardt together with a translation into Spanish by Juan Ennis.
