项目摘要

This project proposes a new approach towards late medieval and early modern historical writing in the Upper Rhine region. In it, texts from historical writing are no longer conceived as constructions of the past by which authorities looked to legitimize their power, but instead as part of urban memory in which the past is negotiated historiographically between different social groups. The study takes the Chronicle of the Council of Constance, and especially the various forms of historical writing inspired by it, as its starting point. The Chronicle of the Council of Constance is an in its form unique account of the international assembly gathered in the city from 1414 to 1418. It was written shortly afterwards by Ulrich Richental and contains a series of illuminations, lists of all the various attendants and the depictions of their coats-of-arms. The chronicle received a lot of attention in modern research, which however concentrated mostly on the lost original text - the eyewitness account - of Richental, although the earliest surviving manuscripts date only from the second half of the 15th century. Whereas most scholars endeavor to bridge the gap of historical tradition towards the events of the council, this project focuses on the apparent configurations in which the text was handed down in the manuscripts. It analyses the reasons for the transformation and publication of the chronicle in the late 15th century, which demonstrate its attractiveness even after some time had passed since the events of the council. This ongoing topicality of the subject matter for historical writing is also apparent in the second period of reception of the text during the Reformation, when contemporaries started to draw parallels between the teachings of Jan Hus, burnt at the stake as a heretic during the council of Constance, and those of Martin Luther. The Chronicle of the Council of Constance had long since detached itself from its author and offered its various urban recipients in the cities of the upper Rhine a wide range of historical knowledge. The functionalization and refunctionalization of this knowledge will be investigated in this project by way of manuscript and text analysis. In examining alongside the Chronicle of the Council of Constance also other important historical works, which were passed from city to city, and were transformed and adapted similarly, the crosslinking of urban historical writing in the upper Rhine region can be studied.

该项目提出了一种新的莱茵河地区中世纪晚期和早期现代历史写作的新方法。在其中，历史写作中的文本不再被认为是过去的构造，当局希望使他们的权力合法化，而是作为城市记忆的一部分，在不同的社会群体之间在历史上谈判了过去。该研究将康斯坦斯委员会的纪事章，尤其是受其启发的各种历史写作形式，作为其起点。《康斯坦斯委员会的纪事》是其形式的独特叙述，讲述了1414年至1418年在城市中收集的国际议会。此后不久，乌尔里希·里奇纳特（Ulrich Richental）撰写了一系列照明，并包含一系列的照明，列出了所有服务员的清单及其小屋的描绘。《纪事报》在现代研究中受到了很多关注，然而，这些研究主要集中在丢失的原始文本 - 《目击者的叙述》中，尽管最早的尚存手稿仅与15世纪下半叶有关。尽管大多数学者都努力将历史传统的差距弥合理事会事件，但该项目着重于手稿中文本的明显配置。它分析了15世纪末期《纪事报》转型和出版的原因，即使自议会事件发生以来，这也证明了其吸引力。在改革期间的第二阶段，当同时代人开始在詹姆·赫斯（Jan Hus）的教义之间取得相似之处，在康斯坦斯委员会和马丁·路德（Martin Luther）的危险中，同时代人在危险中焚烧了危险，这是历史写作主题的持续主题。康斯坦斯委员会的纪事很久以来就已经与作者分离了，并在上莱茵莱茵城市提供了广泛的历史知识。该知识的功能化和修补将通过手稿和文本分析在该项目中进行研究。在与康斯坦斯委员会纪事一起检查的其他重要历史著作中，这些历史著作从城市到城市都经过，并经过了类似的转变和改编，可以研究上莱茵河地区的城市历史写作的交联。
