The project focuses on an image concept that hitherto largely escaped scholarly attention, although it is firmly anchored in different genres of texts from the Antiquity up to early modern times: the insculpta imago. The insculpta imago as three dimensional, relief-carved image is examined with the example of the seal as a visual medium, that only recently became a focus of art historical research. The seal as both, i.e. as in depth carved image of the seal matrix respectively as raised, relief-like imago of the seal impression, appears in writings of the early modern times on art theory, in theological, philosophical, literary and historical writings, as well as in texts, mostly ignored until now by art historians, like Roman and canon Law, legal commentaries, notarial documents or the very early works on sigillography. The project aims at a Corpus of exemplary texts, with an analysis of the qualities and competences assigned to the sculptural image, highlighting central aesthetic categories like beauty, materiality, authenticity, senses and format. In a second step the results of the analysis of these writings are referred back to gems and seals, which are mentioned, described and interpreted in the texts and conserved in archives and museums. The project wants to evince the paradigmatic role of the seal in medieval and early modern discourses on the insculpta imago as three dimensional image and its complex relationship to other plastic media.

该项目关注的是一个迄今为止在很大程度上没有受到学术界关注的形象概念，尽管它牢牢植根于从古代到现代的不同文本体裁：无罪意象。本文以印章为视觉媒介，考察了作为立体浮雕形象的无过错形象，印章是近年来艺术史研究的一个热点。印章既作为印章，也就是作为印章矩阵的深度雕刻图像，分别作为凸起的浮雕印章印象，出现在早期现代关于艺术理论的著作中，在神学、哲学、文学和历史著作中，以及在文本中，直到现在，大多被艺术历史学家忽视，如罗马和正典法律、法律评论、公证文件或关于印鉴的非常早期的作品。该项目旨在建立一个典范文本语料库，分析赋予雕塑形象的品质和能力，突出美、物质性、真实性、感官和形式等核心美学范畴。在第二步中，对这些著作的分析结果被提交回宝石和印章，它们在正文中被提及、描述和解释，并保存在档案馆和博物馆中。该项目旨在展示印章在中世纪和早期现代话语中作为三维图像的无罪形象及其与其他塑料媒体的复杂关系的典范作用。
