The digital collection of Socinian correspondence provides a basis of primary sources for researching the transconfessional struggle in Europe for a new balance between theology, early modern science and politics. The collection covers the period from ca. 1580 to ca. 1740, and thus provides information on processes from the age of Confessionalism to the Enlightenment period. The 2.094 letters that have been catalogued, which were addressed to other Socinians or to scholars of other confessions, reflect the complex interdependencies between historicizing, rationalizing approaches to religious subject matter, early modern scientific questions and their methodology, and political correspondence. Additionally, the Socinian correspondence provides valuable insights into the scholarly networks which encompassed large parts of Europe. There is currently no complete historical-critical collection of the Socinian correspondence suitable for research. The funding of DFG helps to identify all of these letters and incorporate them into the digital collection. In addition to textual-critical commentaries, commentaries on the subject matter and content descriptions, the digital collection offers the benefits of evaluation options based on geography, individual persons and topics by means of the systematic keywording of the included texts. Additionally, the collection incorporate graphical depictions of astronomical phenomena which were enclosed with the letters, most of which were published in the form of copperplate engravings, and which illustrate the subject matter discussed in the correspondence. The previously unpublicized political reports, which were enclosed with well over 400 letters, are treated in the same way. In this way, the collection creates the primary source prerequisites for the opening of new interdisciplinary fields of research for theological history, philosophical history, the history of science, and cultural history.

社会信件的数字收集为研究欧洲为神学，早期现代科学和政治之间的新平衡而进行的跨忏悔斗争提供了主要来源的基础。该收藏涵盖了大约1580年至1740年的时期，因此提供了从忏悔主义时代到启蒙运动时期的信息。已编目的2094封信件，是写给其他社会主义者或其他教派的学者的，反映了对宗教主题的历史化、合理化方法、早期现代科学问题及其方法论和政治通信之间复杂的相互依存关系。此外，社会通信提供了宝贵的见解，学术网络涵盖了欧洲的大部分地区。目前还没有适合研究的完整的社会主义信件的历史批判收集。DFG的资助有助于识别所有这些信件并将其纳入数字收藏。除了文本评论、主题评论和内容描述之外，数字收藏还提供了基于地理、个人和主题的评估选项，通过对所包含文本的系统关键字进行评估。此外，这些信件中还附有天文现象的图形描述，其中大部分以铜版版画的形式出版，并说明了通信中讨论的主题。以前未公开的政治报告也以同样的方式处理，其中附有400多封信。通过这种方式，该收藏为开辟神学历史、哲学史、科学史和文化史等新的跨学科研究领域创造了主要的资源先决条件。
