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

在理事会的巴塞尔（1431年至1449年）的领导神学家的西方教会会见了在欧洲中部。君士坦丁堡陷落后（1453年），也就是理事会结束后的几年，同样的学者们激烈地辩论伊斯兰教的作用，不仅是政治上的，而且是神学上的挑战。这一点经常受到审查。然而，巴塞尔理事会期间的初步工作和讨论使这一立即反应成为可能，但从未得到系统的分析。关于哪些来源仍然存在的彻底研究也缺乏。然而，存在E。G.丰富的材料形式的信件，手稿，旁注，甚至论文Machumeto等Sarracenis副主席的理事会的巴塞尔，约翰的拉古萨（四。1443）。对于许多1453年以后写的作品，也可以表明，他们的作者已经在多年前处理伊斯兰教。因此，本项目将以拉古萨的约翰的相关著作为起点，出版新的资料来源，系统地审查和描述巴塞尔理事会时期关于伊斯兰教的讨论。除了历史问题之外，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，考虑到梵蒂冈第二次理事会（1962-1965年）及其对宗教对话的重要性，这个问题今天仍然相关。

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.
