Quest’opera raccoglie per la prima volta in Italia tutti i testi di argomento biologico scritti dal padre della genetica Gregor Mendel, a stampa e privati, tradotti da Alessandro Volpone sulla base delle edizioni critiche oggi disponibili dei rispettivi originali. L’ultima traduzione dal tedesco del celeberrimo saggio su Pisum (i piselli) risale a circa mezzo secolo fa, mentre un secondo lavoro su Hieracium (una specie di fiori di campo) giace nell’oblio dall’ormai lontano 1914. L’importante carteggio con il botanico Carl von Nägeli, addirittura, in Italia è mai stato tradotto integralmente. Mendel è uno dei più celebrati scienziati della storia, ma la sua produzione scientifica è poco conosciuta, se non nella comunità degli addetti ai lavori. Questa traduzione colma questa grave lacuna editoriale, presentando al grande pubblico italiano un patrimonio storiografico ricco e interessante. Le pagine mendeliane offrono un modello impeccabile di lavoro sperimentale, svolto con la pazienza e la tenacia di uno studioso che, al contrario di quel che talvolta si ritiene, non si arrese di fronte al mancato riconoscimento delle sue scoperte: il programma di ricerche fu da lui abbandonato solo a causa degli accresciuti impegni istituzionali. Il saggio conclusivo di Telmo Pievani, infine, analizza la posizione dello scienziato moravo rispetto alla teoria di Darwin, il cui meccanismo di base fu da lui innegabilmente condiviso. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… This work collects for the first time in Italy all the texts on biological topics written by the father of genetics Gregor Mendel, both printed and private, translated by Alessandro Volpone on the basis of the critical editions currently available of the respective originals. The latest translation from German of the famous essay on Pisum (peas) dates back to about half a century ago, while a second work on Hieracium (a species of wildflowers) It has lain in oblivion since 1914. The important correspondence with the botanist Carl von Nägeli has never been translated in full in Italy. Mendel is one of the most celebrated scientists in history, but his scientific production is little known, except in the professional community. This translation fills this editorial gap, presenting the Italian public with a rich and interesting historiographical heritage. The Mendelian pages offer an impeccable model of experimental work, carried out with the patience and tenacity of a scholar who, contrary to what is sometimes believed, did not give up in the face of non-recognition of his discoveries: the research program was he abandoned it only because of increased institutional commitments. Finally, the final essay by Telmo Pievani analyzes the position of the Moravian scientist with respect to Darwin's theory, whose basic mechanism was undeniably shared by him.]
