First Bulgarian edition of The Origin of Species, prefixed by his Autobiography, translated from the sixth London edition by M. Fiampova and I. H. A Timiryazova, in partnership with editors H. Pushkarova and D. S. B. Lova. Printed and published in 1905 by the Vidin printshop of Lozanov and Dukemedjiev, who, according to the notice on the lower cover, had the book priced at five levs. I have found very little information on this translation or the associated names. It is a rare book, with no copies located in OCLC, KVK, or EL; however NALIS finds two, at the Bulgarian Central Medical Library and the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Octavo, 212 x 147 x 25 mm. 67, [1] (Autobiography); 595, [1], [4] (Origin of Species).- Bill Cotter, 2013 |
