Decision-making at the Imperial Chamber Court. Personal notes of the judges in the long 16th century

该项目旨在根据申请人新发现的法官个人笔记，首次调查帝国法院法官的决策。由于缺乏资料来源，这种类型的调查直到现在都不可能，因为相应的官方协议在1689/90年被烧毁。其目的是通过观察法官的决策过程，更全面地了解法律在世纪法院形成和高级阶段的政治功能。首先，法官的个人记录与最经常提到的，然后是最热门的讨论点（程序，宗教，主题和犹太人）将结合其他来源进行分析。该项目的第二个意图是使困难的来源类别，“法官注意到”，更容易为后代的研究人员。为此，Mathias Neser（1536-1543年的法官）的特殊协议书作为一个概要介绍的例子出版，其中详细描述了法院的法外程序，因为在Schmalkaldic联盟时期法官与皇帝及其顾问之间的密切联系。

The project aims to investigate for the first time the decision-making of the judges at the Imperial Chamber Court based on personal notes of the judges, newly found by the applicant. Due to a lack of sources, this type of investigation has not been possible until now, as the corresponding official protocols were burned in 1689/90. The goal is to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the political function of the law in the formative and high stages of the court in the 16th century, by looking at the decision-making process of its judges. Firstly, the judge’s personal records in relation to the most frequently mentioned and then most topical points of discussion (Procedures, Religion, Subjects and Jews) will be analyzed in combination with other sources. The projects second intention is to make the difficult category of sources, the “judge notes”, more easily accessible to future generations of researchers. To this end the exceptional protocol book by Mathias Neser (judge from 1536-1543) is published as an example in a synoptic presentation, which offers detailed descriptions of the extrajudicial proceedings of the court due to the close connection between the judge and the emperor and his councilors during the time of the Schmalkaldic League.
