Karl Maria E(h)renbert Freiherr von Moll (21 December 1760, Thalgau - 1 February 1838 in Augsburg) was an Austrian naturalist and statesman. From 1790 to 1804 he served as chancellor of the exchequer for Salzburg, afterwards residing in Munich and Augsburg, where he devoted his energies to natural history. In 1807 he became a member of the ''Academie der Wissenschaften'' in Munich, where up until 1827, he served as secretary in the class of mathematics and physics.〔(The Mineralogical Record - Library ) biography〕 During his career he amassed a library of 80,000 books, including many rare volumes on natural history. He also owned a diverse collection of zoological specimens, a significant herbarium in which Alpine flora was well represented, and an impressive mineral collection, of which, a portion was bought by the British Museum.〔〔(Wikisource ) Biographical Dictionary of the Empire of Austria〕 The moss genus ''Mollia'' (Schrank ex Lindb, 1878) from the family Pottiaceae is named after him.〔(BHL ) Taxonomic literature : a selective guide to botanical publications〕〔(Tropicos ) Mollia Schrank ex Lindb.〕 ==Works== *With Franz Paula von Schrank: ''Naturhistorischen Briefe über Oesterreich, Salzburg, Passau und Berchtesgaden'', 2 Bde 1785. *''Oberdeutsche Beiträge zur Naturlehre und Oeconomie für das Jahr'' 1787 (Hsg.) *With Antonio Canestrini: ''Historia de utero duplici, alterutro quarto graviditatis mense rupto'' 1788 (Hsg.) *''Fortgesetzte Müllenkampfsche Sammlung der Forstordnungen verschiedener Länder'', 1796 (Hsg). *''Des Freiherrn K.E. von Moll Mittheilungen aus seinem Briefwechsel als Prodromus seiner Selbstbiographie'', (1829–1835). 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「Karl von Moll」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
