The project applied for aims in the first step at producing a critical-genetic edition of the Unterricht der Visitatoren on the basis of pre-existing prints from the 16th century and newly accessible primary sources in the Main Thuringian State Archive in Weimar and in other archives and libraries. They make it possible for the first time to reconstruct the emergence of this central document of the Wittenberg Reformation in detail. The widely debated question of authorship of the Unterricht der Visitatoren can now be clearly answered: neither Philipp Melanchthon nor Martin Luther was the sole creator of the text. Rather, it must be presumed that it was a collective work which for example Johannes Bugenhagen or Hieronymus Schurff also contributed to and that their practical experiences in the visitations between 1525 and 1527 influenced the text. In order to shed more light upon the historical origins, letters from correspondences of electoral advisors from the summer and autumn of 1527 will be selected for publication in the planned edition. The newly discovered primary sources will be made accessible in digital form (scans) by the Gotha Research Library at the site of the Digital Library. The second step of the projects builds on the first and aims at elucidating the historical background, the significance and the historical reception of this normative document of the 16th century circle of Wittenberg theologians in the form of an introductory commentary. It will not be simply assumed that Luthers theology or Melanchthons integrative intentions permeate this manual for the introduction of the Reformation, but rather that the Wittenberg theologians consciously attempted in close cooperation with legal scholars and court advisors to establish a consensus which they tried to hold to in the following years. Such a consensus would, however, not have been conceivable without the territorial prince assuming episcopal functions.

该项目申请的第一步目标是根据16世纪已有的印刷品和魏玛图林根州主要档案馆和其他档案馆和图书馆新近获得的原始资料，制作《访客权利》的关键遗传版本。它们使我们第一次有可能详细地重建维滕贝格宗教改革的核心文件的出现。广受争议的《来客的权利》的作者问题现在可以得到明确的回答：菲利普·梅兰希顿和马丁·路德都不是该文本的唯一创造者。更确切地说，我们必须假定这是一个集体的作品，比如Johannes Bugenhagen或Hieronymus Schurff也有贡献，他们在1525年到1527年间的访问实践经验影响了文本。为了更清楚地揭示历史的起源，从1527年夏天和秋天的选举顾问的通信信件将被选择在计划出版的版本中出版。新发现的原始资料将由Gotha研究图书馆在数字图书馆的网站上以数字形式（扫描）提供。项目的第二步建立在第一步的基础上，旨在以介绍性评论的形式阐明16世纪维滕贝格神学家圈子的规范性文件的历史背景，意义和历史接受。我们不能简单地认为路德的神学或梅兰希顿的整合意图渗透在这本介绍宗教改革的手册中，而是认为维滕贝格的神学家有意识地试图与法律学者和法庭顾问密切合作，建立一种共识，他们试图在接下来的几年里坚持下去。然而，如果没有领土君主承担主教职能，这种共识是无法想象的。
