The music-theoretical writings of the Middle Ages contain many designations of communities like Galli, Franci, Alemanni, Teutonici, Lombardi, Itali etc. Such designations are based on very different conceptions. Contemporary terms such as gens, natio, populus or civitas and so on only vaguely describe the mixture of linguistic, ideological, political, regional and other factors that determine those designations. They are so widely distributed in the music-theoretical writings that a systematic interpretation would significantly improve our understanding of medieval musical writings. The research project is confined to music-theoretical sources. It aims at an interpretation of the terms used to designate the communities as well as of the intention with which they have been used. In addition to the intrepretation of the designations and their function in the writings themselves the project addresses the question of how the communities mentioned are related to the musical practices of the Middle Ages by relating the geographical and cultural patterns of the music-theoretical writings to our knowledge about regional differences in musical practice. The project presupposes an interdisciplinary apporach and is connected to related disciplines, especially history, since it is focussing on topics like the construction of a sense of community, identity in the Middle Ages, and may even contribute to the exploration of the growth of nationalism.

中世纪的音乐理论著作中包含许多社区名称，如Galli，Franci，Alemanni，Teutonici，Lombardi，Itali等。当代术语，如gens、natio、populus或civitas等，只能模糊地描述决定这些名称的语言、意识形态、政治、地区和其他因素的混合。它们在音乐理论著作中的分布非常广泛，对其进行系统的阐释将有助于我们对中世纪音乐理论著作的理解。研究项目仅限于音乐理论来源。本报告旨在解释用于指定社区的术语以及使用这些术语的意图。除了对名称及其在著作中的作用的解释外，该项目还通过将音乐理论著作的地理和文化模式与我们对音乐实践中区域差异的认识相关联，来解决上述社区如何与中世纪音乐实践相关联的问题。该项目以跨学科的方法为前提，并与相关学科，特别是历史相联系，因为它关注的主题包括社区意识的构建，中世纪的身份认同，甚至可能有助于探索民族主义的发展。
