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

Jacopo Strada的Magnum ac Novum Opus是罗马帝国硬币图纸的语料库，展示了超过9.000张钱币图纸，保存在30卷帝国硬币中，现在在Forschungbibliothek Gotha，还有4卷罗马共和国硬币现在在大英图书馆。1550年开始为汉斯·雅各布·富格尔（Hans Jakob Fugger）创作，1566年进入巴伐利亚杜克阿尔布雷希特五世的艺术室。斯特拉达补充说，图纸与一个单独的评论，A。A. A.钱币Ωn安提古伦Διασκε手稿，保存在两个11卷的手稿现在在维也纳和布拉格。该项目旨在将图像和文本统一起来并加以评论，以在线数字版本呈现这些图像和文本，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图纸和他在维也纳的硬币描述已经被数字化和转录。对于第一个“十二皇帝”，图纸（哥达卷。1-14;这件作品（约4.100张图纸）和相关描述已被输入文艺复兴时期已知艺术和建筑古董作品普查数据库，并相互关联，并与作为斯特拉达作品来源的真品钱币类型相关联：这是随后调查斯特拉达作品的必不可少的条件，也是其对钱币学和16世纪古董研究史的重要意义。通过定制设计的软件，图纸和说明也将被完整地输入Translatio Nummorum项目的数据库。这些材料已经过物理检查，与斯特拉达工作室的其他钱币材料相关，并在富格知识赞助的背景下进行了研究。它提供了一个关键的评估斯特拉达的钱币学方法，认为在中期的背景下，世纪古物。在第二阶段，Gotha第16-30卷（约4600张图纸）将被包括在内，并同样详细说明，从而完成数字版。这些卷涵盖了后来的罗马，拜占庭和中世纪皇帝，相对未开发的领域都在16世纪本身，并在现代研究文艺复兴时期的奖学金。这将允许分析斯特拉达的处理这些更不寻常的来源。整个数字化语料库的可用性将提供更明确的结论，斯特拉达的方法，并评估他的工作的接受。Strada的钱币材料的功能将与他的工作室制作的其他视觉文件进行研究; Fugger的代表作将在他的政治信念和他与帝国法院的密切联系的更广泛背景下进行研究;并概述和分析了作为斯特拉达来源的意大利、法国和德国的硬币收藏，将提供一个详细的贡献文艺复兴时期的收藏史。为了完成第二阶段项目，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.
