Voyage en Afrique: Сомалия. Абиссиния. Часть 2

The current 2022 year is the year of the anniversary of N.I. Vavilov (1887–1943) and the 95th anniversary of his Abyssinian (Ethiopian) expedition. On their eve, the first notebook of his “Abyssinian diary”, illustrated by photographs taken by him on the expedition is published with comments in two issues of Letters to Vavilov Journal of Genetics and Breeding. At the same time, the photos are not given arbitrarily, but only where there is a reference to them in the text of the “Diary”. The dividing into two parts was caused by the limi tations of the volume of issues of the journal. A part of the first notebook of “Abyssinian diary” and several pages of its third notebook were previously partially published in No. 10 of the journal Priroda (Moscow) in 1987 for the centenary of N.I. Vavilov. The introductory article gives a brief outline of the results of the Abyssinian expedition and the preparation of the Vavilov’s diary entry for publication.
