Digital Scholarly Edition of Ulrich Richental´s Chronicle of the Council of Constance

所谓的康斯坦斯会议（1414-1418）的参与者名单是一个相当可观的，但迄今为止几乎没有研究的中世纪晚期书写文化的证据。它们在几十个文本见证和几个不同的版本中出现在我们面前。在学术讨论中，这些目录被称为康斯坦茨会议的参与者名单，但事实上，它们不是会议记录。相反，它们代表了罗马国王西吉斯蒙德和康斯坦茨镇议会试图记录的结果，不仅记录了会议的父亲，还记录了在会议期间来到该镇的所有精神和世俗游客。论文项目旨在记录和描述这些目录，这些目录仅部分为学术讨论所知，并研究单一文本见证在列表起源和传统过程中的地位。通过举例考察前现代时代的人们收集大量数据的方法，分析他们这样做的原因，并关注中世纪史学后来如何处理这些清单，该研究还努力为中世纪晚期的写作文化领域做出贡献。为完成本研究，请求将项目延长一年（2017-10-01至2018-09-30）。

The so-called lists of participants of the Council of Constance (1414-1418) are a considerable, but as yet almost unresearched evidence of writing culture in the Late Middle Ages. They have come upon us in dozens of textual witnesses and several divergent versions. In scholarly discussion, these directories are referred to as lists of participants of the Council of Constance, but in fact, they are no synodal records. Instead, they represent the result of an attempt by the Roman king Sigismund and the town council of Constance to record not only the fathers of the synod, but all spiritual and secular visitors who came to the town during the years of the gathering. The dissertation project aims at documenting and describing these directories, which are only partially known to the scholarly discussion, and at examining the status of the single textual witnesses in the process of the lists genesis and tradition. By exemplarily examining the methods how people in the pre-modern era collected large amounts of data, analysing the reasons why they did so and focussing on how medieval historiography dealt with these lists later on, the study also strives to make a contribution to the field of the culture of writing in the Late Middle Ages. To complete this study, a one year prolongation (2017-10-01 to 2018-09-30) of the project is requested.
