Kaspar Maria von Sternberg (also: ''Caspar Maria'', ''Count Sternberg'', (ドイツ語:Kaspar Maria Graf Sternberg), (チェコ語:hrabě Kašpar Maria Šternberk)), 1761, Prague – 1838, Březina Castle, was a Bohemian theologian, mineralogist, geognost, entomologist and botanist. He is known as the "Father of Paleobotany". He established the Bohemian National Museum in Prague — his collection of minerals, fossils and plant specimens formed the core collection of the museum,〔(Česká pošta ) Philately, Kaspar Maria von Sternberg (1761 - 1838)〕 and he is deemed to be the founder of modern paleobotany. As of 1820 he was on friendly terms with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Originally a student of theology, he attended the Collegium anglicum in Rome, from where he obtained a lower ordination. Inspired by the newly founded Regensburg Botanical Society (1790), he became an avid naturalist, subsequently becoming a prominent member of the society, making contributions to its ''Botanisches Taschenbuch'' and also establishing a botanical garden in Regensburg. In 1805, during an extended stay in Paris, he met with Alexander von Humboldt and came under the influence of a number of French paleontologists and botanists. Afterwards, he relocated to an estate in Radnice, Bohemia. Here, he created a botanical garden, and conducted important paleobotanical research at recently opened coal mines located in the surrounding areas.〔〔(Biography ) @ Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie〕 The botanical genus ''Sternbergia'' is named in his honor.〔(Missouri Botanical Garden ) Sternbergia lutea〕 == Publications == * ''Abhandlung über die Pflanzenkunde in Böhmen'' (rwo volumes 1817-1818) - Treatise on the botany of Bohemia. * ''Briefwechsel (1820-1832)'' - (Correspondence) Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Kaspar von Sternberg.〔(Google Books ) (publications)〕〔(Biodiversity Heritage Library ) Bibliography〕 * (''Versuch einer geognostisch-botanischen darstellung der flora der vorwelt'' ) (with August Karl Joseph Corda, 1820-1825; two volumes) - Attempt at a geognostic-botanical description of primordial flora.〔(Online Books ) Versuch einer geognostisch-botanischen darstellung der flora der vorwelt〕 * (''Ausgewählte Werke des Grafen Kaspar von Sternberg'' ), 1902 - Selected works of Count Kaspar von Sternberg. * (''Leben des Grafen Kaspar von Sternberg'' ), 2010 - The life of Count Kaspar von Sternberg.
