1896réf. 5553First edition of the significant Russian translation of 'On the Origin of Species' by Kliment Timiryazev. The first Russian translation of Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species' was completed in 1864 based on the American edition of 1860 and heavily influenced by the first German translation 1860. A second translation appeared in 1896 offered in two versions—one by journalist historian and mathematician Mikhail Filipov and the other by the renowned Russian botanist and physiologist Kliment Timiryazev 1843-1920 a prominent advocate for Darwin's theories in Russia. Both translations were based on Darwin's final 6th edition 1876. This first volume of the four-volume series 'The Works' by Darwin features Timiryazev's first translation. As a young student at the University of St. Petersburg in 1860 Timiryazev first encountered Darwin's theory of the origin of species. After graduating he traveled to Heidelberg for further study and research where he spent much of his time with Vladimir Kovalevsky a passionate Russian Darwinist. In 1877 Timiryazev after some difficulty managed to arrange a meeting with Charles Darwin at Down House. Upon returning to Russia Timiryazev devoted himself to defending and promoting Darwin's theories. His translations of Darwin's works are considered the highest quality both in translation accuracy and scientific editing.
