The art agent Philipp Hainhofer (1578-1647) is one of the most important figures in the politics of art and collections in the first half of the 17th century north of the Alps. He not only planned, commissioned and brokered highly artificial objects for curiosity cabinets, but he also advised collectors and documented art collections he visited in his travelogues. As an Augsburg entrepreneur, he acted at the point of intersection of a significant art-political exchange of ideas and goods, the result of which is reflected - if one disregards the art objects themselves - in the above-mentioned travelogues and in his vast archive of correspondence (containing business correspondence, correspondence with princely commissioners about politics and art), which is comprehensively preserved, for the most part in the Herzog August library in Wolfenbüttel. Since November 2011, these documents have been the focus of research within a DFG-funded project, and a monograph on Philipp Hainhofer is currently being written. The new methodological approach in this study based on Hainhofer as its central figure concentrates on a synthetic approach to the research that has up to now been undertaken separately within various scientific disciplines. It, therefore, unites aspects from the fields of art history (collection history, history of applied arts and their functions), history of communication (information networks in 1600: correspondence and manuscripts), political history (including diplomacy and ambassadors) and literature (travel literature and culture of correspondence) showing up their mutual interdependence. The proposed second funding period of 12 months is used, as provided in the initial proposal, for drafting two chapters and for the overall revision and preparation for printing.

艺术经纪人菲利普·海因霍费尔(Philipp Hainhofer，1578-1647)是17世纪上半叶阿尔卑斯山北部艺术和收藏界最重要的人物之一。他不仅为古董柜设计、委托和代理高度人造的物品，还为收藏家提供建议，并记录他在游记中参观的艺术收藏品。作为一名奥格斯堡企业家，他的行动是在思想和商品的重大艺术-政治交流的交汇点上进行的，其结果--如果不考虑艺术品本身的话--反映在上述游记和他的大量信件(包括商业信件、与君主关于政治和艺术的信件)中，这些档案得到了全面的保存，大部分保存在沃尔芬布特尔的赫尔佐格·奥古斯特图书馆。自2011年11月以来，这些文件一直是DFG资助的一个项目的研究重点，目前正在撰写一本关于Philipp Hainhofer的专著。这项研究以海因霍费尔为中心的新的方法论方法集中于对迄今为止在不同科学学科中单独进行的研究的综合方法。因此，它将艺术史(收藏史、应用艺术史及其功能)、传播史(1600年的信息网络：通信和手稿)、政治史(包括外交和大使)和文学(旅行、文学和通信文化)等领域的各个方面统一起来，显示出它们之间的相互依存关系。按照最初提案的规定，拟议的第二个12个月的资助期用于起草两章，并用于全面修订和准备印刷。
