Long-term Project for Coverage and Publication of Calendars in Order to Secure the Historical Tradition of the Younger Charters of the Threse (1400-1529) from Staatsarchiv (State Archive) Hamburg - renewal proposal II (project phase II)

虽然汉堡的历史涉及德国和国际历史研究中的不同相关方面，但其中世纪晚期的发展仍然不为人所知。这是由于1842年的大火和第二次世界大战期间的疏散造成的原始文件缺乏保存。在1400年之后的时期，只有少数几个零散的版本。然而，汉堡市理事会的保护档案馆，可以追溯到中世纪，这是一个核心的文件库，几乎没有损失。它仍有待现代评估和编辑。所涉档案材料包含欧洲不同地区的宪章，由不同的作者编写。它们涉及帝国或教皇的法令，私人或地区贵族之间的财产或法律案件的业务，允许洞察法院，和平条约，世仇公告和许多其他方面的对应关系。因此，现代研究只能有限和难以获得有关城市日益增长的领土权力，其在北海贸易和北方欧洲贸易路线中的作用以及其日益融入政治和外交网络的基本信息。除了德国的研究兴趣之外，这也涉及到汉萨关系，城镇比较史和德英关系的研究。因此，所申请的项目将以日历的形式提供档案材料的汇编，该日历将印刷版和在线版相结合。印刷版的功能是提供对材料的永久概述，其中较长的日历总结了来源的主要内容，提到了所有的人和地方，描述了文件的形式，列出了印刷版本和进一步的传统。这些日历将按不同方面编入索引。在线版提供较短的日历，这些日历与同一时间的其他来源放在一起，并可能通过全文版进行扩展。它们应允许以后根据不断变化的研究要求进行修改和更正。因此，该项目将首次以科学和持续的方式为历史研究准备重要材料，并以标准化的形式授予访问权，不受时间和地点的限制。因此，它将为更好地了解欧洲以及中世纪后期的德国历史做出重要贡献。在第二阶段，即在此适用的阶段，计划为期三年，1441年至1490年的文件应可供查阅。预计的最后第三阶段只打算用两年时间，将涵盖1491年至1529年。

Though the history of Hamburg concerns different relevant aspects discussed in German as well in international historical research, its late medieval development is still not well known. This is due to a lack of the preservation of original documents caused by the great fire in 1842 and by the evacuations during the Second World War. For the period after 1400, there are only a few, scattered editions. Nevertheless there is the Threse, the protection archive of the Hamburg town council, reaching back until the Middle Ages, which is a central corpus of documents which has been delivered from the past nearly without losses. It still awaits a modern assessment and edition. The archive materials in question contain charters from different regions of Europe and are made out by different authors. They concern imperial or papal ordinances, business in properties or law cases between private persons or with the regional nobility, allow insights into the correspondance of the law courts, peace treaties, the announcement of feuds and many other aspects. Modern research has thus only limited and difficult access to basic information concerning the growing territorial authority of the city, its role for the North Sea trade and the Northern European trade routes as well as its growing integration into political and diplomatic networks. German research interests set aside, this also relates to research on the Hanseatic relations, the comparative history of towns and on German-English relations. Therefore the project which is applied for will provide the compilation of the archive materials in form of a calendar which combines versions in print and online. The printed edition has the function to provide a permanent overview on the materials, in which longer calendars summarize the main content of the sources, mention all persons and places, describe the form of the documents, list printed editions and further traditions. The calendars will be indexed for different aspects. The online edition offers shorter calendars which are put in the context with other source from the same time and may be extended by full-text edtions. They shall allow later reworking and corrections to react on changing requirements of research. Thus, the project will for the first time scientifically and continuously prepare important materials for historical research and grant access in a standardised form and independent from place and time. It will thus render an important contribution to a better understanding of the European as well as the German history of the Later Middle Ages. In Phase II, for which is applied here, and which is scheduled for three years, the documents for the years 1441 to 1490 shall be made accessible. The projected final Phase III which is only intended to take two years, shall cover the years 1491 to 1529.
