The general scarcity of the relevant source material has hindered research on disputations from the early 16th century. An exception is presented by the case of the Wittenberg theological faculty, for which more than 80 examples of theses exist, originally intended for oral disputation. These theses serve as an example not only for the practice of disputation in an early modern university, but highlight the importance of disputations in the early Reformation as a medium used to develop a new form of theology and discuss church reforms. The aim of this project is to give an overview of the practice of disputation as practiced in Wittenberg between 1516 and 1523, considering its status between tradition and innovation. This project seeks to address two main questions. Firstly, how did those theses and the disputation practice in Wittenberg from the early Reformation period relate to other forms of academic teaching? Secondly, what function did disputations play in the development of Reformation theology?This proposed analysis of the Wittenberg theses will combine approaches developed in the history of science and in the history of ideas as well as the methodology of book history and the history of print. Integrating those methods, I will first analyze the way in which these theses were transmitted to us. I will then proceed to give an overview of the relation of the practice of disputation to other academic activities in Wittenberg and reconstruct the oral practice of disputation. Finally, I will relate selected disputation theses to the development of Reformation theology and practical church reforms.By analyzing four collections of Wittenberg theses printed in Leiden, Paris and Basel in the early 1520s I will seek to shed light on the reception of the new theology in the European public sphere. Several collections of theses manuscripts from the libraries of humanist scholars document the early modern scholarly practice of combining prints and manuscripts. The sheer number of the preserved theses affords a unique opportunity to reconstruct the practice of disputation in an early modern university. Furthermore, analysis of the importance of the disputation practice (originating in the high Middle Ages) for the development of Reformation theology will enable us to arrive at a better understanding of the dynamics of tradition and change in forming the new theology. Finally, a fresh look at the Wittenberg theses represents an essential prerequisite to producing a new comprehensive edition of them, which includes not only the most significant reformers Luther, Melanchthon and Carlstadt but also other Wittenberg professors, previously neglected by Reformation historians.

相关原始资料的普遍缺乏阻碍了对世纪早期争议的研究。一个例外是由维滕贝格神学系的情况下，其中有80多个论文的例子存在，原本打算口头辩论。这些论文不仅为早期现代大学的辩论实践提供了一个范例，而且突出了早期宗教改革中辩论作为一种媒介的重要性，这种媒介用于发展一种新的神学形式和讨论教会改革。本项目的目的是概述1516年至1523年在维滕贝格实行的争议实践，考虑其在传统和创新之间的地位。本项目力求解决两个主要问题。首先，这些论文和维滕贝格从早期宗教改革时期的辩论实践如何与其他形式的学术教学？第二，争论在宗教改革神学的发展中起了什么作用？这一拟议中的维滕贝格论文分析将结合联合收割机的方法，在科学史和思想史，以及图书史和印刷史的方法。综合这些方法，我将首先分析这些论文是如何传递给我们的。然后，我将继续概述辩论实践与维滕贝格其他学术活动的关系，并重建辩论的口头实践。最后，我将通过分析16世纪20年代初在莱顿、巴黎和巴塞尔出版的四本维滕贝格论文集，将所选的争论论文与宗教改革神学的发展和实际的教会改革联系起来，试图阐明欧洲公共领域对新神学的接受。人文学者图书馆的几个论文手稿集记录了早期现代学术实践中印刷品和手稿的结合。保存下来的论文数量之多，为重建早期现代大学的辩论实践提供了一个独特的机会。此外，分析争论实践（起源于中世纪）对改革神学发展的重要性，将使我们能够更好地理解传统的动力和形成新神学的变化。最后，重新审视维滕贝格提纲是制作一个新的全面版本的必要前提，其中不仅包括最重要的改革家路德，梅兰希顿和卡尔斯塔特，而且还包括其他维滕贝格教授，以前被忽视的改革历史学家。
