Bibliographical Database Historiography in Ottoman Europe (15th until 18th centuries)

计划中的数据库旨在建立奥斯曼帝国欧洲第一个全面的早期现代史学书目，从而为历史研究提供持久的支持。在一个主要由宗教文字塑造的文化框架内，该地区的多语种史学是世俗文字的一个重要部分，因此一直被用作研究社会和文化史以及奥斯曼帝国内部各文化领域之间的知识纠葛以及它们与地中海和中欧地区相互交流的主要来源。该项目将首次包括在1500年至1800年期间用奥斯曼帝国欧洲所有语言编写的全部史学文本，并将数据合并为一个完整的参考书目。因此，对分散和难以获得的文本进行先进的书目索引，将允许搜索材料，而不考虑语言和体裁，突出文本间的纠缠和相互依存关系，并分别说明目前可用的印刷版或网络版。数据库的访问将通过波鸿鲁尔大学地中海研究中心的网站提供，该中心特别注重文化知识的传播，并与波鸿鲁尔大学奥斯曼帝国和土耳其历史教席密切合作。因此，早期现代东南欧和地中海研究将为其特定的研究兴趣提供一个持久且易于更新的关键工具，从长远来看，它甚至可以转变为一个研究门户，将图书馆、研究机构和个人研究人员跨越国界连接起来。计划中的奥斯曼帝国欧洲书目数据库史学(15世纪至18世纪)不仅应该对仍然高度脱节的研究格局产生信号效应，而且应该将自己理解为迈向比较研究的重要一步，该比较研究设想奥斯曼帝国欧洲是一个由各种文化、语言和宗教共享的空间。

The planned database aims at establishing the first comprehensive bibliography of early modern historiography in Ottoman Europe, thereby providing a lasting support for historical research. In the framework of a culture mainly shaped by religious writing, the polyglot historiography of the region represented an important section of secular writing and for this reason has constantly been drawn upon as a primary source for the study of social and cultural history as well as for the intellectual entanglement among the cultural spheres within Ottoman Europe and their intercommunication with the Mediterranean and Central European regions. For the first time, the project will comprise the entire body of historiographic texts written in all the languages of Ottoman Europe between 1500 and 1800 and merge the data into one integral bibliography. Thus, the advanced bibliographic indexing of the scattered and hardly available texts will allow for searching the material irrespective of language and genre, for highlighting the inter-textual entanglements and interdependencies, and for indicating the currently available printed or online editions respectively. Access to the database will be provided via the website of the Centre for Mediterranean Studies at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum which has a special focus on the circulation of cultural knowledge and closely cooperates with the Chair of Ottoman and Turkish History at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum.Thus, early modern South Eastern European and Mediterranean studies will be provided with a durable and easily updatable key instrument for their particular research interests, which, in the long run, could even be transformed into a research portal linking libraries, research institutions and individual researchers across national borders. The planned Bibliographical Database Historiography in Ottoman Europe (15th until 18th centuries) is not only supposed to have a signaling effect upon a research landscape that is still highly disjointed, but rather understands itself as an essential step towards a comparative research that conceives of Ottoman Europe as a space shared by a variety of cultures, languages, and religions.
