The goal of this project is to prepare a lexicon, accessible in bothinternet and printed forms, of calendar makers from 1550 to 1750, offeringbio-bibliographical sketches of about 550 persons who authored orpublished large Schreibkalender (annual calendars in quarto format) in theearly modern period. Such a reference work would provide an essentialprerequisite for any social-historical research on Europeancalendar-making and its production of the printed materials that foundtheir way into nearly early every household, including even illiteratehouseholds.Recent research has emphasized the importance of the calendar maker in thedifferentiation of textual and iconographic content that emerged duringthe second third of the seventeenth century. Although a small subset ofthe leading scholars who made calendars is known (e.g., writers likeJohann Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen and Sigmund von Birken,professors like Johann Christop Sturm and Georg Albrecht Hamberger,physicians like Johann Magirus, astronomers like Gottfried Kirch, orclergymen like Christoph Richter), shedding more light on the broadspectrum of calendar makers remains an important desideratum.A lexicon of calendar makers would provide the foundation for exploringbiographical, literary, and publishing relationships between this group ofpublicists and other groups, such as scholars at universities andacademies, literary writers and poets, editors of newspapers and journals,printers and publishers and political elites in city councils and princelycourts. This lexicon should aid in the analysis of calendar authors andpublishers as contributors to a genre of reading material that after 1650reached nearly every household. Such annually-printed texts graduallystimulated their readers to begin making their own judgments aboutprocesses in nature as well as in society. That is, the lexicon shouldanswers questions about the motivation and knowledge of those who, bymeans of the medium of calendars, supported the origin and development ofthe Enlightenment.The source base for this project, including biographical research that hasagain become important for historians, has greatly improved in recentyears. New materials include the large collections of printed calendars,discovered in 2006 in Cracow and Altenburg during the applicant's previousprojects, as well as records preserved in archives (printing privileges,personal papers, correspondence).

这个项目的目标是准备一个词典，在互联网和印刷形式，从1550年到1750年的日历制造商，提供生物书目草图约550人谁撰写或出版大型Schreibkalender（夸托格式的年历）在现代早期。这样一部参考著作将为任何有关欧洲日历制作及其印刷品生产的社会历史研究提供一个必要的先决条件。欧洲日历制作及其印刷品的生产几乎在早期就进入了每个家庭，甚至包括文盲家庭。最近的研究强调了日历制作者在区分17世纪后三分之一时期出现的文本和图像内容方面的重要性。 虽然制作日历的主要学者中有一小部分是已知的（例如，像约翰·雅各布·克里斯托夫·冯·格里默斯豪森和西格蒙德·冯·比肯这样的作家，像约翰·克里斯托夫·斯特姆和格奥尔格·阿尔布雷希特·汉贝格这样的教授，像约翰·马吉鲁斯这样的医生，像戈特弗里德·基尔希这样的天文学家，或者像克里斯托弗·里希特这样的牧师），对广泛的日历制作者进行更多的了解仍然是一个重要的愿望。日历制作者的词典将为探索传记，文学，以及这一群体与其他群体之间的出版关系，如大学和学院的学者，文学作家和诗人，报纸和期刊的编辑，印刷商和出版商以及市议会和皇室的政治精英。 这本词典应该有助于分析日历作者和出版商作为一种阅读材料的贡献者，这种材料在1650年之后几乎普及到每个家庭。 这种每年出版的文本逐渐刺激读者开始对自然界和社会的过程做出自己的判断。 也就是说，词典应该回答那些通过历法支持启蒙运动的起源和发展的人的动机和知识问题。这个项目的资料基础，包括传记研究，在最近几年已经有了很大的改进，传记研究再次成为历史学家的重要内容。新材料包括2006年在申请人之前的项目期间在克拉科夫和阿尔滕堡发现的大量印刷日历，以及档案中保存的记录（印刷特权、个人文件、信件）。
