Jacob Burckhardt, Lecture on early modern history (1450-1598), critical edition with commentary

作为雅各布·伯克哈特全集批评版的一部分，本项目旨在讨论雅各布·伯克哈特关于近代史的讲座手稿和关于反改革时代的讲座。原稿和伯克哈特·S的增补和副刊将结合在一起，从文本批评问题和内容上进行分析。我们的目标是获得一份一致的文本，使我们能够追溯到伯克哈特对欧洲早期近代的解读。这一带有评论的版本是雅各布·伯克哈特(雅各布·伯克哈特·沃克)全集不可或缺的一部分，也是非常需要的，因为关于早期现代史的讲座可以揭示伯克哈特·S关于现代欧洲国家形成的一些完全未知的方面。虽然学者们熟知伯克哈特·S对意大利文艺复兴的看法，但还没有书面资料来传播他对北欧文艺复兴和宗教改革的阅读。因此，关于早期近代史的讲座手稿和关于反改革时代的讲座的评论版涵盖了雅各布·伯克哈特全集的一个重要愿望。同时，它也提供了对伯克哈特·S的历史观和超越19世纪历史主义的特定史学思想的访问途径，这些方面到目前为止都被忽视了。

As part of the critical edition of the complete works of Jacob Burckhardt, this project is meant to discuss both his lecture manuscripts on early modern history and his lectures on the times of counter-reformation.The original manuscripts and Burckhardt s additions and supplements will be joined together to be analyzed regarding text critical issues and content. We aim at acquiring a consistent text that allows us to trace back Burckhardt s interpretation of the early modern times in Europe.This critical edition with commentary is an indispensable part of the complete works of Jacob Burckhardt (Jacob Burckhardt Werke) and highly in need, because the lectures on early modern history could be able to shed light on some completely unknown aspects of Burckhardt s view on the formation of the modern European states. Whereas scholars are acquainted to Burckhardt s view on the Italian Renaissance, there has been no written source to transmit his reading of Renaissance and Reformation in northern Europe.The critical edition of the lecture manuscripts on early modern history and the lectures on the times of counter-reformation is hence to cover an important desideratum of the complete works of Jacob Burckhardt. At the same time it could provide access to aspects of Burckhardt s conception of history and of a specific historiographical thought beyond historicism in the 19th century that have been neglected so far.
