The urban and territorial networks of the physician Johann Franc (1649-1725) and Ulm's medical market around 1700 as reflected in contemporary medical diaries: Franc's library as his knowledge base

到目前为止，该项目的目的是对约翰·弗朗克（1649-1725年）的星历表及其附带文件进行系统的批判性评估，这是一份由大约1，400页手稿组成的亲笔签名。在此基础上，研究人员考察了1700年前后的药房、创伤医生、外科医生和助产士，以及法兰克的领土和城市内部网络以及乌尔姆医疗市场的形态。该项目发现，《历书》的每一章都有理论依据，法兰克依赖于从古代到他那个时代的医疗权威的陈述。但约翰·弗朗克（当时的习惯）经常不提及他所引用的整个段落的来源，而是通过插入自己病人的名字来“转移”它们到乌尔姆。这种方法使得在项目的完成阶段，更仔细地查看Franc的图书馆作为他的患者日志和出版物的知识库似乎是明智的。为此目的，转录了一份图书馆目录，并将目录中所列的短标题记录在一个数据库中。在他的生命过程中，法郎汇编了广泛的图书馆约2,500标题约1,800卷。甚至他的同时代人也称赞他广泛收集的医学和自然历史著作。随着继续的建议，我们现在追求的目标是更精确地分析星历的知识基础，并检查法郎的编译技术。在这样做的过程中，我们希望获得深入了解早期现代医生的理论工作方法的基础上，他们提供的文献。除了公共图书馆外，医生们还使用私人收藏，并在工作期间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学作品可供使用。调查的出发点是私人图书馆重建到1726年的原始规模，以及捐赠给乌尔姆市图书馆后的发展。第二步，将确定法郎图书馆的哪些部分今天仍然可以在城市图书馆的馆藏中找到。在此基础上，将对原始藏书进行进一步的分析：对保存下来的藏书进行材料检查，并对Francs关于其图书供应的信件进行评估。这将揭示他的做法（1）获得书籍，（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。我们的研究结果将允许进一步的比较洞察医学图书市场和医生的图书馆使用在近代早期。

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.
