Text and Con-Text.Structures of the publishing history of texts of medieval philosophy and its neighboring disciplines.

中世纪哲学文本和与哲学相关的文本以手稿形式和印刷形式传达。提交的项目将涵盖中世纪文本的出版历史。通过全面回顾这段历史，本项目将首次为中世纪研究提供两个不同的发现：第一，后来的读者对某些中世纪文本的兴趣的膨胀和紧缩；其次，文本语境，即后来的读者将这些文本置于出版历史中的语境。此外，该项目的历时性视角将以独特的方式描绘中世纪文本后期传统的结构特征。这意味着，它揭示了印刷和非印刷文本之间的关系，以及真实和伪铭文文本之间的关系。到目前为止，中世纪的哲学研究还没有做到这一点。在认真的书目初步工作的基础上，提交的项目试图通过涵盖中世纪文本的出版历史和回顾这一历史的各个阶段来结束这一研究愿望。文本与其作者之间的双重关系，从而与作品（上下文）之间的双重关系，受到巨大波动的影响。特别是对于最重要的作家，人们可能会说：特别是他们的作品，在不同的版本中印刷得最频繁，经常被不真实的文本所渗透。为了对历史的认识，我们必须设想的不是由于某一部作品的作者身份的纠正而引起的历史转折点，而是它作为一个整体的接受史——包括许多部分版本。因为后来对作者的鉴定并不会使文本的先前接受历史变成过时的历史，因为先前的接受者阅读和印刷文本时总是认为它具有一定的重要性。这个信用决定了上述的双重关系。该项目将把有关中世纪文本出版历史的传记、文本和书目的大量数据转移到一个实质性升级的在线数据库中，而不是传统的参考书。这将为中世纪学者提供全面的研究机会，例如涵盖所有相关书目属性。此外，它易于修改和扩展，甚至可以考虑信件、carmina、布道等短文本，也可以全面考虑匿名文本。另外的专著将概括中世纪哲学作为一个整体和典型作者的出版历史的结构特征。

Medieval philosophical texts and texts relevant for philosophy are conveyed both in manuscript form and in printing. The submitted project will cover the publishing history of medieval texts. By comprehensively reviewing this history, this project will, for the first time, provide two different findings to medieval studies: first, the inflation and deflation of the interest later readers had in certain medieval texts; secondly, the textual contexts, in which later readers placed these texts within this publishing history. Furthermore, the diachronic perspective of this project shall, in an exclusive manner, characterize the structural features of the later tradition of medieval texts. This means, it reveals both the relation between printed and unprinted texts and between authentic and pseudo-epigraphic texts. This has not been accomplished by philosophical medieval research so far. Building on serious bibliographic preliminary works, the submitted project tries to close this research desideratum by covering the publishing history of medieval texts and by reviewing the various stages of this history.The twofold relation between a text and its author and thereby to an oeuvre (con-text) is subject to heavy fluctuations. Especially for the most important authors one might say: Particularly their oeuvre which has been printed most frequently in different editions is often penetrated by non authentic texts. In the interest of historical perception, one has to envision not the historical turning point, caused by the rectification of the authorship of a certain oeuvre, but the history of its reception as a whole - including the many partial editions. For the later identification of an author does not turn the former reception history of a text into an obsolete one since former recipients read and printed this text always by crediting it with a certain importance. This credit determines the aforementioned twofold relation.The project will transfer the enormous abundance of data concerning biographies, texts, and bibliographies dealing with the publishing history of medieval texts into a substantially upgraded online database instead of a conventional reference book. This will provide medieval scholars with comprehensive research opportunities, e. g. the coverage of all relevant bibliographic attributes. Furthermore, it can easily be corrected and extended and can take into account even short texts such as letters, carmina, and sermons and also anonymous texts in a comprehensive manner.An additional monograph shall summarize the structures features of the publishing history for medieval philosophy as a whole and for exemplary authors.
