First Hungarian edition of Darwin’s opus magnum the On the Origin of Species 1859 the foundation of evolutionary biology. A fajok eredete was Darwin’s first book to be translated into Hungarian. The translator László Dapsy 1843–1890 was a gymnasium teacher in Budapest who studied at the New College in The University of Edinburgh. While in Scotland Dapsy was introduced to Darwin’s scientific theories and back in Hungary he became a pioneer advocate of Darwinism. As a member of the Hungarian Society of Natural Sciences Dapsy urged the publication of Darwin’s works in Hungarian and translated the present book On the Origin of Species. While working on the text he was in correspondence with Darwin who besides authorized the publication provided the photograph after which the portrait illustrating this edition has been made. The translation was revised by another progressive Hungarian scientist and early Darwinist Tivadar Margó 1816–1896 who was the author of the first Hungarian zoological book based on Darwin’s theories and the first biography of Darwin written in Hungarian. Margó held the memorial lecture after Darwin’s death at the Hungarian Academy of Science of which Darwin was an honorary fellow since as early as 1872 wherein he recollected the memories about his personal encounter with Darwin in 1875.
