The correspondence of the humanist scholar Nikodemus Frischlin (1547-1590) - Critical edition, summaries, commentary

而在大多数情况下，德国改革者（如路德，梅兰希顿，布策尔）和早期德国人文主义者（如，虽然这些作品已经出现在评论版或正在编辑中，但人文主义晚期的信件几乎完全没有编辑，唯一值得注意的例外是早期巴洛克作家Matthäus Rader SJ和Martin Opitz。这种忽视是令人惊讶的，因为在过去的几十年里，对晚期人文主义的研究已经大大扩展，这可以从许多专著和专题研究的出版以及一些主要作者的作品的新版本中看出。当时最杰出的人物之一是斯瓦比亚的语言学家、学校改革家和诗人尼科德莫斯·弗里施林（Nikodemus Frischlin，1547-1590年），他的文学作品不仅包括诗歌、戏剧、演讲和学术论文，而且还有大量关于教育和社会政治主题的辩论小册子。除了这些重要的出版物，大量的信件幸存下来，部分用拉丁语，部分用德语，与亲戚，同事，政治和学术机构的代表，以及符腾堡王朝的成员。在近450封信写的和弗里施林，只有少数出版在他的一生。此外，在现代，幸存的语料库从未出版，甚至没有全面描述。这些信件现在正在出版的关键文本版沿着内容摘要和广泛的评论。Frischlin通信的编辑遵循最近出版的人文主义者Eschchlin，Melanchthon和Pirckheimer的通信模式。这些信件的评注解释了提到的个人或地点和历史背景，以及语言或文学项目，如古典和当代文学或圣经的引文。此外，这些评论还挖掘了重要的相关档案来源，如图宾根大学参议院的记录、斯图加特法院的文件以及弗里施林最著名的对手马丁·克鲁修斯的小册子。这个版本提供了一个至关重要的补充版Frischlin的作品，也承诺扩大知识晚期人文主义，使自我文件的一个中心的历史人物首次提供。弗里希林是这个时代最杰出的人物之一，因为他的文学，学术和文化活动的多样性，以及他对公共事务（特别是贵族的作用）的明确表达，而且经常是争论性的观点，而且，尤其是由于他在欧洲共和国的突出融合。

Whereas for the most part the correspondence of German reformers (e.g. Luther, Melanchthon, Bucer) and early German humanists (e.g., Reuchlin, Celtis, Pirckheimer) has already appeared in critical editions or is currently being edited, letters from the age of late humanism remain almost entirely unedited, the only notable exceptions being the early baroque writers Matthäus Rader SJ, and Martin Opitz. This neglect is surprising because research on late humanism has expanded tremendously in the past few decades, as can be seen in the publication of numerous monographs and special studies as well as in new editions of the oeuvres of some of the central authors. One of the most prominent figures of the time is the Swabian philologist, school reformer and poet Nikodemus Frischlin (1547-1590), whose diverse literary production comprises not only poetry, drama, orations and learned treatises, but also a substantial corpus of polemical pamphlets on educational and socio-political themes. In addition to these significant publications, an extensive correspondence survives, partly in Latin, partly in German, with relatives, colleagues, representatives of political and academic institutions, and members of the Württemberg dynasty. Of the nearly 450 letters written by and to Frischlin, only a few were published during his lifetime. Moreover, in modern times, the surviving corpus has never been published nor even described comprehensively. These letters are now being published in a critical text edition along with content summaries and extensive commentaries. The editors of the Frischlin correspondence are following the model of the recently published correspondences of the humanists Reuchlin, Melanchthon, and Pirckheimer. The commentaries for the letters explain individuals or places mentioned and historical background as well as linguistic or literary items, such as quotations from classical and contemporary literature or from the Bible. Moreover, the commentaries also mine important related archival sources, such as the records of the Tübingen University Senate, documents of the Stuttgart court, and pamphlets of Martin Crusius, Frischlin's most prominent adversary. This edition offers a critically important complement to the edition of Frischlin's works and also promises to expand knowledge of late humanism by making the ego-documents of a central historical figure available for the first time. Frischlin ranks among the most distinguished figures of this era due to the variety of his literary, academic, and cultural activities, as well as his clearly articulated, and often polemical, views on public affairs (especially on the role of aristocracy) and, not least, due to his prominent integration in the European republic of letters.
