A new edition of the German writings of Heinrich Seuse

海因里希·苏斯（Heinrich Seuse，约1295/96-1366年）是中世纪晚期最重要的德国神秘主义者，除了Meister Eckhart和Johannes Tajor。他的作品在德语区以外的地方广为人知，直到今天。早在世纪，苏斯的德语作品就被收集在所谓的“Exemplar”中，在学术文献中被认为是"权威版本“，并作为传播作者作品的起点。科学研究的基础上Seuse是到现在为止的版本由卡尔Bihlmeyer从1907年：这个版本关注的是对苏斯本人授权的“范例”的重建，以及苏斯的信件和布道，这些都不是“范例”的一部分。然而，这表明，这些著作的每一个不同的文本版本或节录幸存下来。这些不同的文本株是重要的，不仅为接受历史的苏斯的著作，并作为一个见证，以极大的普及，他们必须有;此外，他们表明，重要性的“范例”的传输苏斯的著作必须重新讨论：一方面，有15个证词的“范例”只是整个传播的一小部分（远远超过600手稿），另一方面，甚至在“范例”是苏斯的著作传输在一个统一的形式，但在不同的版本。该项目的目的是一个新的版本的德国著作海因里希苏斯，独立于上下文的“范例”，并在此向科学界提供一个新的文本基础，考虑到这些著作的不同形式的编辑和接收，他们经历了。该版本将以两种方式出版：将有一个印刷版，这个版本将是一个新的，科学上有效的参考，为未来的重新定位;将有一个数字版，进一步提供信息的文本历史和codicological事项在互动的方式。

Heinrich Seuse (ca 1295/96-1366) is, besides Meister Eckhart and Johannes Tauler, the most important German mystic of the later Middle Ages. His writings had a reception far beyond the German linguistic region, and he is widely kown until today.Already in the 14th century, Seuse’s German writings have been collected in the so-called ‚Exemplar‘ which in the scholarly literature is recognized as an ‚authoritative edition‘, and as the starting point for the transmission of the author’s writings. The basis for the scientific research on Seuse is until now the edition by Karl Bihlmeyer from 1907: this edition is concerned with a reconstruction of the ‚Exemplar‘, that Seuse himself has putatively authorized, as well as with Seuse’s letters and sermons, that are not part of the ‚Exemplar‘.The transmission of Seuse’s German writings, though, demonstrates that of each of these writings different textual versions or redactions have survived. These different textual strains are important not only for the reception history of Seuse’s writings, and as a witness to the great popularity they must have had; moreover they show that the importance of the ‚Exemplar‘ for the transmission of Seuse’s writings has to be discussed anew: on the one hand, with 15 testimonies the ‚Exemplar‘ forms only a minor part of the overall transmission (far more than 600 manuscripts), and on the other hand, not even within the ‚Exemplar‘ are Seuse’s writings transmitted in a unified form, but in diverse versions.The aim of the project is a new edition of the German writings of Heinrich Seuse, independently from the context of the ‚Exemplar‘, and herewith to make available to the scientific comunity a new textual basis for these writings that takes into consideration the different forms of redaction and reception they underwent. The edition will be published in two ways: there will be an edition as printed book, and this edition will be a new, scientifically valid reference for future reasearch; and there will be a digital edition which further offers information on the textual history and codicological matters in an interactive way.
