The proposed project seeks to compare university foundations in the 1470s with the key goal of contributing to a better understanding of the underlying motivations and processes at work in the founding of late medieval universities. The starting point of the project will be the University of Tübingen (1477), which will be compared to other universities founded in the 1470s, including those in Ingolstadt (1472), Mainz (1477), Uppsala (1477), and Copenhagen (1479). The study will focus on these foundations primarily as Landesuniversitäten and thus on the many interdependencies with regional politics, for example within the context of church reform, political position and position of rank, or territorial-political developments. Despite their differences, university foundations confronted similar problems, which both suggests and facilitates a comparative approach.University foundations must be understood as processes for which no clear starting or ending point can be specified. Although the project seeks to consider these processes in their entirety, some aspects will receive particular attention. One key example is the role of the Roman Curia. While all of the universities of the 1470s were created by papal privilege, the Curia was a recurring starting point for university founders well beyond the founding bull. Further, the role of various individuals involved in foundations requires further scholarly attention. This applies not only to the university founder and his close advisors, but also to other possible participants in the second tier, including financial or political sponsors, sought-after teaching staff, or individuals acting as procurators at the Curia. Here, network studies and the concept of Handlungswissen will be particularly useful analytical tools.The comparison of roughly contemporary university foundations is intended, on the one hand, to reveal possible interdependencies among the founding processes and identify typical and regular processes and backgrounds, and on the other hand to work out the distinguishing characteristics of each individual foundation and its regional-historical context.

拟议的项目旨在比较15世纪70年代的大学基金会，其主要目标是更好地理解中世纪晚期大学建立的基本动机和过程。该项目的起点将是图宾根大学（1477年），它将与15世纪70年代建立的其他大学进行比较，包括因戈尔施塔特（1472年），美因茨（1477年），乌普萨拉（1477年）和哥本哈根（1479年）。该研究将集中在这些基础主要是Landesuniversitäten，从而在许多与区域政治的相互依存关系，例如在教会改革，政治地位和排名的位置，或领土政治发展的背景下。尽管存在差异，但大学基金会面临着类似的问题，这既建议也有助于采取比较方法，大学基金会必须被理解为没有明确起点或终点的过程。虽然本项目力求全面考虑这些进程，但某些方面将受到特别关注。一个重要的例子是罗马教廷的作用。虽然15世纪70年代的所有大学都是由教皇特权创建的，但教廷是大学创始人的一个反复出现的起点，远远超出了创始人的公牛。 这不仅适用于大学创始人及其亲密顾问，也适用于第二层的其他可能参与者，包括金融或政治赞助商，抢手的教学人员，或在教廷担任检察官的个人。在这里，网络研究和Handlungswissen的概念将是特别有用的分析工具。对大致当代的大学基金会进行比较，一方面是为了揭示其创立过程之间可能存在的相互依赖关系，并确定典型的和常规的过程和背景，另一方面是为了找出每个基金会及其区域历史背景的区别特征。
