Description

Monumental work of mycological classification published in 26 volumes between 1927 and 1933, the work of the Trentino priest Jacopo Bresacola (1847-1929). A scholar of natural sciences, he had specialized over the years in the study of mushrooms, achieving a consolidated international reputation. His most extraordinary work, a collection of more than a thousand color plates, was contested at an editorial level between some foreign publishers and a committee of Italian scholars and men of culture who, with the support of the Tridentine Museum of Natural History, launched a subscription for publication in Italy. The work immediately proved to be a point of reference for all mycology scholars following Bresadola. In 25 volumes of editorial folders, 1250 color plates are presented accompanied by an explanatory card; the vol. 26 is dedicated to the life and works of Bresadola (with a portrait on the frontispiece and text in Latin), to the list of subscribers and indexes. In 1941 the first Supplement appeared, published as vol. XXVII in two files and an editorial folder with 73 tables, dedicated to Amanitaceae and work by EJ Gilbert. In 1960 a second Supplement followed (Vol. XXVIII as an editorial file with 48 tables) dedicated to Elaphomycetales et Tuberales, by A. Ceruti.
