The aim of the project so far has been the systematic-critical evaluation of Johann Franc's (1649-1725) ephemeris, an autograph comprising some 1,400 manuscript pages, and of its accompanying documentation. On this basis, the territorial as well as the intra-urban network of Franc and the shape of the medical market in Ulm were examined, taking into account pharmacies, wound doctors, surgeons and midwives around 1700.The project revealed, among other findings, that each chapter of the Ephemeris was underpinned by theoretical considerations in which Franc relied on the statements of medical authorities from antiquity to his time. But Johann Franc (as was customary at that time) often did not refer to the sources from which he took entire passages and "transferred" them to Ulm by inserting names from his own patients. This method made it seem advisable already in the completed phase of the project to take a closer look at Franc's library as the knowledge base for his patient journal and his publications. For this purpose, a copy of the library catalogue was transcribed and the short titles listed in it were recorded in a database. In the course of his life Franc compiled an extensive library of about 2,500 titles in about 1,800 volumes. Even his contemporaries praised the extensive collection of medical and natural history writings. With the continuation proposal, we are now pursuing the goal of analysing the knowledge base of the Ephemeris more precisely and examining Franc's compilation technique. In doing so we hope to gain deep insights into the theoretical working methods of early modern physicians based on the literature available to them. In addition to public libraries, the doctors used private collections and built up extensive private libraries for their scientific work during the course of their work. Especially in the case of Franc, this was essential, because Ulm's public library had hardly any medical works at its disposal.The starting point of the investigation is the reconstruction of the private library to its original size of 1726 and its development after the donation to the library of the city of Ulm. In a second step, it will be determined which parts of the Franc's library can still be found in the holdings of the Stadtbibliothek today. On the basis thus created, further analyses of the original book collection will be performend: a material examination of the preserved book collection as well as an evaluation of Francs' correspondence regarding his book supply will be conducted. This will reveal his practices of (1) obtaining books, (2) collecting and (3) using his personal knowledge base in the context of his own publications and his scholarly and private networks. Our findings will allow further comparative insights into the medical bookmarket and into physicians' library usage in the early modern period.

到目前为止，该项目的目的是对约翰·弗朗克(1649-1725)的星历、一份包含约1400页手稿的亲笔签名及其所附文件进行系统的批判性评估。在此基础上，考察了1700年左右的药房、伤口医生、外科医生和助产士，考察了法兰克的地域和城市内部网络以及乌尔姆医疗市场的形态。该项目发现，星历的每一章都有理论上的考虑，其中法兰克依赖从古代到他那个时代的医疗当局的声明。但约翰·弗朗克(按照当时的惯例)经常不提到他从哪里获得整个段落，并通过插入他自己的病人的名字将它们“转移”到乌尔姆。这种方法使已经处于项目完成阶段的弗朗克的图书馆看起来是可取的，因为它是他的患者杂志和出版物的知识库。为此目的，转录了一份图书馆目录，并将其中列出的简短书目记录在一个数据库中。在他的一生中，弗朗克编辑了一个庞大的图书馆，大约有2500本书，大约1800卷。就连他的同时代人也称赞了大量的医学和自然历史著作。有了延续的建议，我们现在正在追求更准确地分析星历知识库和检查France的汇编技术的目标。通过这样做，我们希望在现有文献的基础上，对早期现代内科医生的理论工作方法有更深入的了解。除了公共图书馆，医生们还使用私人藏品，并在工作过程中为他们的科学工作建立了广泛的私人图书馆。特别是在弗朗克的情况下，这是必不可少的，因为乌尔姆的公共图书馆几乎没有任何医疗工作可用。调查的起点是将私人图书馆重建到1726年的原始规模，以及捐赠给乌尔姆市图书馆后的发展。在第二步，将确定法兰克图书馆的哪些部分仍然可以在Stadtbibliothek今天的藏品中找到。在这样创建的基础上，将对原始藏书进行进一步的分析：将对保存的藏书进行材料检查，并对法郎与其图书供应的通信进行评估。这将揭示他的做法：(1)获取书籍，(2)收集和(3)在他自己的出版物和他的学术和私人网络的背景下使用他的个人知识库。我们的发现将使我们能够进一步比较深入地了解医学图书市场和早期现代时期医生的图书馆使用情况。
