This project aims to digitize and process the complete tradition of oriental - meaning Arabic and Hebrew ¿ manuscripts containing works of the philosopher Averroes (1126-1198) which are held in repositories in Germany and Israel. With this, the project sees itself as a part of the Digital Averroes Research Environment (DARE), which, as a virtual research institute, aims to connect and (re)present all efforts in digitization and research on Averroes works worldwide. For the project and in cooperation with the repositories holding the material, all 71 oriental manuscripts of Averroes in Germany and Israel shall be digitized and enriched with meta- and structural data. To allow for a complete capture of the works, two texts which are prominently featured throughout the manuscripts (the Short Commentary to the Organon and the Long Commentary to the Posterior Analytics) shall be processed into digital full texts in both language traditions. All results of the project shall be published online and in open access on the DARE-homepage.Such a mass digitization in a time frame of two years can be possible because of the predefined and geographically closed collection of manuscripts and because of the existing structure and know-how of DARE, on which the project will participate. So, this project only requires funding for the costs of the digitization itself and the processing of the content.This processing will include manuscript descriptions with a special focus on the history of the tradition of works and texts (following the research of Moritz Steinschneider) and a digital representation of the structure of the manuscripts, which allows for a precise linking between images, texts and contents. A focus on the contents of the manuscripts is essential, since the special conditions of the tradition of Averroes' works can only be displayed correctly if the singular textual witnesses are put into relations with each other by means of digital editions as canonical reference points. For this, it is necessary to create digital full texts as sources of editions. ln this project, the selection of texts is made in reference to the scientific relevance of the selected texts, their prominence in the manuscript collection and the possibility to process them in the course of two project years. Further texts contained in the manuscripts can be represented by full texts already created by DARE.By connecting philosophical-philological content and methods of the digital humanities in an extensive research environment, this project underlines the importance and the possibilities of processing local material collections in the digital age. Furthermore, the results of the project will increase our knowledge of lslamic-Arabic philosophy and its impact on European culture and science. With these aspects, the project fits perfectly into the research program and the research interests of the Thomas-lnstitute, which will support it to a great extent.

该项目旨在整理和处理完整的东方传统-即阿拉伯语和希伯来语手稿，其中包含哲学家阿威罗伊（1126-1198年）的作品，这些作品保存在德国和以色列的知识库中。有了这个，该项目将自己视为数字阿威罗研究环境（DARE）的一部分，作为一个虚拟研究机构，旨在连接和（重新）呈现全球阿威罗作品数字化和研究的所有努力。为了该项目，并与保存材料的知识库合作，将对德国和以色列的所有71份阿威罗的东方手稿进行数字化，并使用Meta数据和结构数据进行充实。为了完整地捕捉作品，在整个手稿中突出的两个文本（对工具的短评和对后分析的长评）将被处理成两种语言传统的数字全文。该项目的所有成果都将在网上公布，并在DARE的主页上开放获取。由于预先确定的和地理上封闭的手稿收藏以及DARE的现有结构和专门知识，在两年的时间内进行这种大规模数字化是可能的，该项目将参与其中。因此，该项目只需要支付数字化本身和内容处理的费用。该处理将包括手稿描述，特别关注作品和文本传统的历史（遵循莫里茨的研究）。斯坦施奈德）和手稿结构的数字表示，可以实现图像、文本和内容之间的精确链接。重点放在手稿的内容是必不可少的，因为阿威罗作品的传统的特殊条件只能正确地显示，如果单一的文本证人是通过数字版本作为规范的参考点，把彼此的关系。为此，有必要创建数字全文作为版本的来源。在这个项目中，文本的选择是根据所选文本的科学相关性、它们在手稿收藏中的突出性以及在两个项目年内处理它们的可能性来进行的。手稿中包含的其他文本可以通过DARE已经创建的全文来表示。通过在广泛的研究环境中连接哲学-语言学内容和数字人文学方法，该项目强调了在数字时代处理本地材料收藏的重要性和可能性。此外，该项目的成果将增加我们对伊斯兰-阿拉伯哲学及其对欧洲文化和科学的影响的了解。有了这些方面，该项目完全符合该研究所的研究计划和研究兴趣，这将在很大程度上支持它。
