Johann Sturm

Johann Christoph Sturm was a German philosopher, professor at University of Altdorf and founder of a short-lived scientific academy known as the Collegium Curiosum, based on the model of the Florentine Accademia del Cimento. He edited two volumes of the academy's proceedings under the title Collegium Experimentale. In 1670, he translated the works of Archimedes into German.
