Jacopo Stradas Magnum ac Novum Opus: A 16th-Century Numismatic Corpus. Phase 2b

雅各布·斯特拉达（Jacopo Strada）的《罗马帝国钱币图集》（Magnum ac Novum Opus）收录了9000多幅罗马帝国钱币图集，保存在30卷帝国钱币中，现在存放在哥达图书馆（Forschungbibliothek Gotha）， 4卷罗马共和国钱币现在存放在大英图书馆（British Library）。大约在1550年由汉斯·雅各布·富格尔开始，语料于1566年进入巴伐利亚公爵阿尔布雷希特五世的艺术作品。斯特拉达还补充了另一份注释，a . a . NumismatΩn Antiquorum Διασκευή，保存在两份11卷的手稿中，现在分别保存在维也纳和布拉格。该项目旨在统一和评论图像和文本，以在线数字版本呈现这些内容，并在其历史和艺术背景下研究这些材料。在第一阶段，斯特拉达在哥达的硬币绘画和他在维也纳的硬币描述已经被数字化和转录。对于最早的“十二皇帝”，画（哥达卷）。1 - 14;大约4100幅画)和相关描述已被输入文艺复兴时期已知的古董艺术和建筑作品普查数据库，并相互联系，并与作为斯特拉达来源的真实硬币类型联系起来：这是对斯特拉达作品的后续调查必不可少的要求，它对钱币学历史和16世纪古物研究的重要性。通过定制设计的软件，图纸和描述也将被完整地输入到翻译Nummorum项目的数据库中。这些材料经过了物理检查，与斯特拉达工作室的其他钱币材料相关，并在富格尔的智力赞助背景下进行了研究。它提供了一个关键的评估斯特拉达的钱币方法，在16世纪中期的古物研究的背景下考虑。在第二阶段，将包括Gotha卷16-30（约4600幅图纸），并进行同样的阐述，从而完成数字版本。这些卷涵盖了后期罗马，拜占庭和中世纪皇帝的铸币，在16世纪本身和文艺复兴时期学术的现代研究中相对未开发的领域。这将允许分析斯特拉达处理这些更不寻常的来源。整个数字化语料库的可用性将为斯特拉达的方法提供更明确的结论，并对他的工作的接受程度进行评估。斯特拉达的钱币材料的功能将与他的工作室制作的其他视觉文件联系起来研究；富格尔的政治信念和他与朝廷的密切联系将在更广泛的背景下研究他的代表作；对作为斯特拉达资料来源的意大利、法国和德国钱币收藏的概述和分析，将为文艺复兴时期的收藏史提供详细的贡献。为了完成第二阶段的项目，迫切需要最后第六年的资金。

Jacopo Strada’s Magnum ac Novum Opus, a corpus of drawings of coins of the Roman Empire presents over 9.000 numismatic drawings, preserved in 30 volumes of Imperial coins now in the Forschungbibliothek Gotha, and 4 volumes of Roman Republican coins now in the British Library. Begun ca 1550 for Hans Jakob Fugger, the corpus entered the Kunstkammer of Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria in 1566. Strada complemented the drawings with a separate commentary, A. A. A. NumismatΩn Antiquorum Διασκευή, preserved in two 11-volume manuscripts now in Vienna and Prague. The project aims to unite and comment the images and texts, to present these in an on-line digital edition, and to study the material in its historical and artistic context. In Phase 1 Strada’s coin-drawings in Gotha and his coin-descriptions in Vienna have been digitized and transcribed. For the first “Twelve Emperors”, the drawings (Gotha vols. 1-14; ca 4.100 drawings) and related descriptions have been entered in the database of the Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance, and linked to one another and to the authentic coin-type that served as Strada’s source: an indispensable requirement for the subsequent investigation of Strada’s work, and its significance for the history of numismatics and of 16th-century antiquarian studies in general. By means of custom-designed software, drawings and descriptions will also be entered integrally into the database of the Translatio Nummorum project. The material has been physically examined, related to other numismatic material from Strada’s workshop, and studied within the context of Fugger’s intellectual patronage. It provides a critical assessment of Strada’s numismatic method, considered in the context of mid-16th century antiquarianism. In Phase 2, the Gotha volumes 16-30 (ca 4.600 drawings) will be included, and elaborated likewise, thus completing the digital edition. These volumes cover the coinage of the later Roman, Byzantine and Medieval Emperors, relatively unexplored fields both in the 16th century itself, and in modern studies of Renaissance scholarship. This will allow an analysis of Strada’s handling of these more unusual sources. The availability of the entire digitized corpus will afford more definitive conclusions as to Strada’s method, and an evaluation of the reception of his work. The function of Strada’s numismatic material will be studied in relation to the other visual documentation produced in his workshop; Fugger’s commission of the Magnum opus will be studied in the wider context of his political convictions and his close association with the Imperial court; and an overview and analysis of the coin-collections in Italy, France and Germany that served as Strada’s sources, will provide a detailed contribution the history of Renaissance collecting. To complete this second phase project, the funding for a final sixth year is urgently needed.
