The graph based digital edition of Socinian correspondence provides a basis of primary sources for researching the transconfessional struggle in Europe for a new balance between theology, early modern science and politics. The edition covers the period from ca. 1580 to ca. 1740, and thus provides information on processes from the age of Confessionalism to the Enlightenment period. The 2047 letters that have been catalogued to date, which were addressed to other Socinians or to scholars of other confessions, reflect the complex interdependencies between historicizing, rationalizing approaches to religious subject matter, early modern scientific questions and their methodology, and political correspondence. Additionally, the Socinian correspondence provides valuable insights into the scholarly networks which encompassed large parts of Europe. There is currently no complete historical-critical edition of the Socinian correspondence suitable for research. The funding being sought will be used to identify all of these letters and incorporate them into the digital edition. In addition to textual-critical commentaries, commentaries on the subject matter and content descriptions, the graph based digital edition offers the benefits of evaluation options based on geography, individual persons and topics by means of the systematic keywording of the included texts. Additionally, the edition incorporates graphical depictions of astronomical phenomena which were enclosed with the letters, most of which were published in the form of copperplate engravings, and which illustrate the subject matter discussed in the correspondence. The previously unpublished political reports, which were enclosed with well over 250 letters, are treated in the same way. In this way, the edition creates the primary source prerequisites for the opening of new interdisciplinary fields of research for theological history, philosophical history, the history of science, and cultural history.

索西尼通信的基于图表的数字版本为研究欧洲跨信仰斗争以实现神学、早期现代科学和政治之间的新平衡提供了主要来源的基础。该版本涵盖了大约从1580 至 约1740年，从而提供了从忏悔主义时代到启蒙运动时期的过程的信息。迄今为止已编目的 2047 封写给其他索西尼派或其他教派学者的信件，反映了宗教主题的历史化、理性化方法、早期现代科学问题及其方法论和政治对应之间复杂的相互依存关系。此外，索西尼的信件为了解涵盖欧洲大部分地区的学术网络提供了宝贵的见解。目前还没有适合研究的完整的索西尼信件历史批判版本。正在寻求的资金将用于识别所有这些字母并将其纳入数字版本。除了文本批判性评论、对主题和内容描述的评论之外，基于图表的数字版本还通过对所包含文本进行系统关键词设置，提供基于地理、个人和主题的评估选项的优点。此外，该版本还包含了随信件附上的天文现象的图形描述，其中大部分以铜版雕刻的形式出版，并说明了信件中讨论的主题。之前未发表的政治报告（其中附有超过 250 封信件）也以同样的方式处理。通过这种方式，该版本为神学史、哲学史、科学史和文化史等新的跨学科研究领域的开辟创造了主要的来源先决条件。
