The Latin Church of the West facing the Challenge of Islam during the Council of Basel (1431-1449) with special regard to John of Ragusa (d. 1443). Edition and Interpretation of New Sources in the Light of the Interactions on the Council and its Self-Conc

在巴塞尔会议期间(1431-1449)，西方教会的主要神学家在欧洲中部会面。君士坦丁堡倒台后(1453年)，因此，仅仅几年后的理事会结束，同样的学者激烈辩论伊斯兰教的作用，不仅作为一个政治，而且作为一个神学的挑战。这一点经常被研究。然而，巴塞尔理事会期间的初步工作和讨论使这一即时反应成为可能，但从未得到系统的分析。对于哪些来源仍然存在，也缺乏彻底的研究。然而，有，例如，在信件，手稿，页边空白的形式丰富的材料，甚至一个巴塞尔委员会副主席，拉古萨约翰(草1443)论文Machumeto et Sarracenis。对于许多写于1453年之后的作品来说，也可以表明它们的作者在之前的几年里就已经在处理伊斯兰教了。因此，该项目将出版新的资料，并以拉古萨的约翰的相关作品为起点，系统地考察和描述巴塞尔委员会时期关于伊斯兰教的讨论。除了历史问题外，更系统的主题将是理事会的神学概念如何影响关于伊斯兰教的讨论，这是一个今天仍然相关的问题，考虑到第二届梵蒂冈理事会(1962-1965)及其对宗教对话的重要性。

During the Council of Basel (1431-1449) the leading theologians of the western church met in the middle of Europe. After the fall of Constantinople (1453) and thus only a few years after the end of the council the same scholars intensively debated the role of Islam not only as a political, but also as a theological challenge. This has often been examined. However, the preliminary works and discussions during the Council of Basel, which enabled this immediate reaction, have never been systematically analysed. A thorough study about which sources are still existing is lacking, too. Yet, there exists e. g. rich material in form of letters, manuscripts, marginalia and even a treatise Machumeto et Sarracenis of the vice chairman of the Council of Basel, John of Ragusa (d. 1443). For many of the works written after 1453 it can also be shown that their authors had already been dealing with Islam in the years before. This project will thus publish new sources and systematically examine and describe the discussions about Islam in the time of the Council of Basel, taking the relevant works of John of Ragusa as starting point. Besides the historical problematics the more systematical subject will be the question how the theological concept of the council did influence the discussions about Islam, a question, which is still relevant today, taking into account the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and its importance for the dialogue of religions.
