The internationally renowned Herbarium Haussknecht, founded on October 18, 1896, in Weimar by the Thuringian botanist Carl Haussknecht (1838-1903) and currently located at Friedrich Schiller University Jena, houses among its 3.5 million plant specimens thousands of specimens that Haussknecht collected during his travels in the Ottoman Empire and Persia in the years 1865 and 1866-1869. His by now transcribed 1000 page travel diaries provide a hitherto unexplored context for this collection and they are the centrepiece of this project, conducted by an interdisciplinary team including botanists belonging to the herbarium and specialists in Middle Eastern studies, mainly 19th century Ottoman Empire and Persia. Going far beyond botany, the travel diaries provide expert information and detailed observations on geology, geography, cartography, zoology, but also regional, social, and cultural studies and histories. The related georeferenced maps allow for the precise localisation of the herbarium specimens and the reconstruction of Haussknecht’s itineraries, which differed from the common itineraries of that time. Further archival material such as correspondence, an album amicorum (autograph book) and carte de visite-photographs are additional elements that enrich and deepen the critical evaluation and contextual interpretation. With the usage of a modular software (FuD, Trier) for generating a digital edition, the whole corpus is processed, indexed (plants, persons, places, things, including if applicable spelling variants and local terminology) and annotated. It is gradually being made available in the project portal (http://haussknecht.thulb.uni-jena.de/index.php?id=301) that has been created in cooperation with the Thuringian University and State Library in Jena (ThULB).The annotated critical edition of the travel diaries, including further archival material, provide for the contextualisation of the herbarium‘s founding collection and help to appropriately acknowledge Haussknecht‘s scientific personality and his contribution to systematic botany and the development of Oriental botany. It also has an important contribution to make to the histories of science, culture and reception of the regions in question in the second half of the 19th century. Numerous project presentations and thematic talks within various disciplines have attracted wide interest. In consequence, the team has been invited to publish an edited volume (I.B. Tauris) and has also established contacts and developed networks with other research projects. The annotated digital edition will provide a virtual research infrastructure that offers the potential for future advanced quantitative and qualitative analyses in various disciplines.

国际知名的Haussknecht植物标本馆由图林根植物学家Carl Haussknecht（1838-1903）于1896年10月18日在魏玛成立，目前位于耶拿弗里德里希席勒大学，收藏了350万份植物标本，其中包括Haussknecht在1865年和1866-1869年奥斯曼帝国和波斯旅行期间收集的数千份标本。他现在转录的1000页旅行日记为这个收藏提供了迄今未探索的背景，它们是这个项目的核心，由一个跨学科的团队进行，包括植物标本馆的植物学家和中东研究专家，主要是19世纪世纪奥斯曼帝国和波斯。除了植物学之外，旅行日记还提供了地质学、地理学、制图学、动物学以及区域、社会和文化研究和历史方面的专家信息和详细观察。相关的地理参考地图允许精确定位标本馆标本和重建Haussknecht的行程，这与当时的常见行程不同。进一步的档案材料，如信件，一本相册amicorum（签名簿）和carte de martete照片是丰富和深化批判性评价和上下文解释的额外元素。通过使用模块化软件（FuD，Trier）生成数字版本，对整个语料库进行处理、索引（植物、人、地点、事物，包括适用的拼写变体和当地术语）和注释。目前正逐步在项目门户网站（http：//www.example.com）上提供该指南haussknecht.thulb.uni-jena.de/index.php?这本旅行日记的注释评论版，包括进一步的档案材料，为植物标本馆的创始收藏提供了背景，并有助于适当地承认Haussknecht的科学个性及其对系统植物学和东方植物学发展的贡献。它还对19世纪后半叶有关地区的科学、文化和接受史作出了重要贡献。在不同学科范围内的许多项目介绍和专题讨论引起了广泛的兴趣。因此，该小组应邀出版了一本编辑过的书（I. B. Tauris），并与其他研究项目建立了联系和发展了网络。注释的数字版将提供一个虚拟的研究基础设施，为未来各学科的高级定量和定性分析提供潜力。
