Karel Dežman, also known as Dragotin Dežman and Karl Deschmann (3 January 1821 – 11 March 1889), was a Carniolan liberal politician and natural scientist. He was one of the most prominent personalities of the political, cultural, and scientific developments in the 19th-century Duchy of Carniola.〔http://www.zrs-kp.si/konferenca/govorica/avtorji/Janez_C.htm〕 He is considered one of the fathers of modern archeology in what is today Slovenia.〔http://www.nms.si/slovensko/12_oddelki/arheoloski/zgodovina/zgodovina.html〕 He also made important contributions in botany, zoology, mineralogy, geology and mineralogy.〔http://nl.ijs.si:8080/fedora/get/sbl:0362/VIEW/〕 He was the first director of the Provincial Museum of Carniola, now the National Museum of Slovenia.〔http://www2.pms-lj.si/razstave/darwin/dezman.html〕 Due to his switch from Slovene liberal nationalism to Austrian centralism and pro-German cultural stances,〔Janez Cvirn, Kdor te sreča, naj te sune, če ti more, v zobe plune: Dragotin Dežman in slovenstvo In Zgodovina za vse 14/2 (2007), pp. 38–56〕 he became a symbol of national renegadism.〔 ==Early life and career== He was born to an upper middle class Slovene family in Idrija, Duchy of Carniola (now in Slovenia). After his father's death in 1824, he moved to Ljubljana, where he was raised by his uncle Mihael, who was a financial supporter of the Slovene national revival, and a personal friend of the philologist Franc Metelko. After finishing high school in Ljubljana and Salzburg in 1839, he enrolled in the University of Vienna, where he studied medicine and law. In Vienna, he soon came under the influence of Slovene romantic nationalists, and became part of the Slovene radical youth. Among others, he participated in the public funeral of the Polish exile patriot Emil Korytko in Ljubljana, and was chosen to carry his coffin. During the Revolution of 1848, he supported the United Slovenia program, and helped organize the boycott of the elections to the Frankfurt Parliament in the Slovene Lands. In this period, he started using the name Dragotin, a Slavic version of the name Karel (Charles). In 1849, he returned to Ljubljana. Initially, he taught at the local state secondary school. In 1852, he was appointed director of the Carniolan Provincial Museum. He continued to be active in the Slovene national movement, working with figures such as Janez Bleiweis and Franc Miklošič. Among other things, he wrote a bibliography of the poet Valentin Vodnik, and compiled the natural science terminology for Maks Pleteršnik's Slovene-German dictionary. As an author of articles supporting progressive and national liberal ideals, he influenced many young Slovene political activists, such as Fran Erjavec and Fran Levec. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karel Dežman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
