In the three-month extension period, the Gotha Research Library of the University of Erfurt will continue to catalogue the correspondence and biographical documents of the influential early modern scholar, statesman and constitutional theorist Veit Ludwig von Seckendorff (1626-1692), a project which has already been funded for 36 months (January 2020 to December 2022) by the German Research Foundation. Seckendorff is considered an outstanding representative of the “politicus practicus” in the German Protestant territories of the second half of the 17th century. The basis of the cataloguing project is a corpus of over 7,800 handwritten documents related to Seckendorff’s life and work. These documents are dispersed over numerous archives and libraries in the Federal Republic of Germany. Before the start of the project, these sources were largely untapped. Both their formal specifications and content will be recorded bibliographically in a high-level standardized fashion in the Kalliope Union Catalogue, thus making them systematically and comprehensively available for the first time. The project thus addresses a desideratum that has been clearly identified by scholars. Seckendorff’s vigorously cultivated and extensive network reflects his active participation in a wide variety of political, legal, theological and general scholarly discourses. The enormous potential of the project has already become apparent in the cataloguing phase to date, affording new insights into practices of erudition, everyday life, work methods, habitus and social strategies of Seckendorff and his correspondence partners. The project will therefore provide new impulses for source-based interdisciplinary research on Seckendorff, extending far beyond previous studies that have concentrated or have been based primarily on his publications. In the three-month extension period, which has already been planned in the context of the initial application, the remaining 531 documents of the corpus will be catalogued. The overall results of the project will then cover all aspects of the work and life of Veit Ludwig von Seckendorff and will be presented at an interdisciplinary and international conference. The aim of the conference, planned for March 2023, is to discuss the results in light of current research debates and in comparison to other scholars of the 17th century such as Johann Christian von Boineburg, Johann Heinrich Boecler and Philipp Jacob Spener.

在为期三个月的延长期内，埃尔福特大学哥达研究图书馆将继续对有影响力的早期现代学者、政治家和宪法理论家维特·路德维希·冯·塞肯多夫(Veit Ludwig von Seckendorff，1626-1692)的信件和传记文件进行编目，该项目已由德国研究基金会资助了36个月(2020年1月至2022年12月)。塞肯多夫被认为是17世纪下半叶德国新教地区“政治实践”的杰出代表。编目项目的基础是一个7800多份与塞肯多夫的生活和工作有关的手写文件语料库。这些文件分散在德意志联邦共和国的许多档案馆和图书馆。在项目开始之前，这些资源基本上都是未开发的。它们的正式规格和内容都将以高水平的标准化方式记录在Kalliope Union目录中，从而使它们第一次能够系统和全面地提供。因此，该项目解决了学者们已经明确确定的一个愿望。塞肯多夫大力培养和广泛的人脉关系反映了他积极参与各种政治、法律、神学和一般学术话语。到目前为止，该项目的巨大潜力已经在编目阶段显现出来，使人们对塞肯多夫和他的通信伙伴的博学实践、日常生活、工作方法、习惯和社交策略有了新的见解。因此，该项目将为基于来源的关于塞肯多夫的跨学科研究提供新的动力，远远超出以往集中或主要基于他的出版物的研究。在最初申请时已经计划的三个月延长期内，将对语料库的其余531份文件进行编目。该项目的总体成果将涵盖维特·路德维希·冯·塞肯多夫工作和生活的方方面面，并将在一个跨学科和国际会议上公布。会议计划于2023年3月举行，目的是根据当前的研究辩论，并与17世纪的其他学者如约翰·克里斯蒂安·冯·博内堡、约翰·海因里希·博克勒和菲利普·雅各布·斯佩纳进行比较，讨论研究结果。
