Mendel's Date of Birth, Why would Mendel want to make a mistake?

Original language description

From the very beginning, the literature on Mendel has provided two dates for his birth, the 20th or 22nd July 1822. Understandably, this has been a source of controversy, which comes up from time to time in various contexts. The bicentenary celebration of Mendel’s birth, therefore, seems an appropriate occasion to recall the basic outline of this age-old problem. At the same time, we try to present another hypothesis why Mendel himself consistently insisted on 22nd July as being the date of his birth, even when this contradicted the official entry in the parish register of Vražné village.
