[email protected] Abstract. Medan, D. 2016. The scientific letters of Lorenzo R. Parodi. Darwiniana, nueva serie 4(1): 31-44. The scientific correspondence of the Argentine botanist Lorenzo Raimundo Parodi (1895-1966) in- cludes 5280 letters interchanged between 1916 and 1966 with 1257 correspondents from 50 countries. Parodi’s correspondence is comparatively rich in copies of his own letters, and therefore it offers both an insight into his personal views and a record of the ways in which he communicated with an extensive network of relationships. The article first describes the structure and formation dynamics of the docu- mentary corpus, then analyzes in detail the thirty epistolary exchanges in which Parodi´s participation (as measured by the number of his own letters) was maximal.
