Artist's Knowledge and Reading Habits in 19th Century Rome. The Library of the German Artists in Rome and its Epistemological Context.

自2015年5月以来，该研究项目的重点是从知识史的角度对德国文化博物馆进行检查和评估。该图书馆自2012年9月以来一直位于罗马的歌德之家，并于1900年左右由罗马的三个历史图书馆的个人馆藏组装而成。今天，图书馆仍然拥有大约4,500本书（原始的大约9,850本），沿着有全面的档案文件，包括加入书，目录和贷款分类账，目前正在根据其潜力进行审查，作为19世纪世纪德国罗马艺术史的一流来源。该项目的目标是，首先，以基于德国公共图书馆网络（GBV）的中央图书馆系统的OPAC形式重建世纪罗马存在的所有艺术图书馆，包括所有出处和用途，其次，重新评估这些图书馆，这些图书馆是专门为满足在罗马工作的德国艺术家的需要而组装的，从艺术史、图书馆史、知识史的角度，以专著的形式撰写。由于罗马的图书馆和资源的传播情况是独特的，因此在研究艺术家所拥有的知识和他们所接受的培训的项目过程中可以制定新的标准。从1821年在卡比托利欧山上建立德国图书馆开始，这三个艺术图书馆是德国在罗马殖民地知识生活的中心纪念碑。通过以在线目录的形式提供这些馆藏，提供灵活的搜索选项，并对未来用户的查询保持开放，该项目将使这一全面的来源可用于有关艺术史的问题和对艺术家生活的深入研究。这项研究将使第一个定量可靠的结论，得出有关罗马的德国艺术家的阅读习惯，在德国艺术家的共和国的智力生活的组织和哲学和理论思想的转移。由于资料来源方面的有利情况，有可能全面重建以前所有的藏书。此外，由于在许多情况下可以重现出处，因此可以获得有关19世纪罗马艺术家和赞助人的个人书籍收藏和阅读习惯的重要信息。学术专著将以案例研究的形式研究这些类型的研究问题，并将最重要的文件作为来源出版。

Since May 2015, the research project has focused on examining the Bibliothek des deutschen Künstlervereins and evaluating it from the standpoint of the history of knowledge. The library has been located in the Casa di Goethe in Rome since September 2012 and was assembled in around 1900 from the individual holdings of three historical libraries in Rome. Today, the library still contains around 4,500 books (of the original approximately 9,850), along with comprehensive archival documentation including accession books, catalogues and loan ledgers, and is currently being examined in light of its potential to serve as a first-rate source for German-Roman art history in the 19th century. The goal of the project is, firstly, to reconstruct all the art libraries that existed in 19th century Rome in the form of an OPAC based on the central library system of the German Common Library Network (GBV), including all provenances and usages, and secondly, to reappraise these libraries, which were assembled specifically to meet the needs of German artists working in Rome, in the form of a monograph written from the perspective of art history, library history, and the history of knowledge. Because the transmission situation of the libraries and the sources available in Rome is unique, new standards could be set in the course of the project for research into the knowledge possessed by artists and the training they received. Beginning with the founding of the Bibliothek der Deutschen on the Capitoline Hill in 1821, the three art libraries are central monuments to the intellectual life of the German colony in Rome. By making these holdings available in the form of an online catalogue that offers flexible search options and remains open to queries from future users, the project will make this comprehensive source available for questions regarding the history of art and advanced researched into the lives of artists. This research will enable the first quantitatively reliable conclusions to be drawn about the reading habits of German artists in Rome, the organisation of intellectual life in the German artists’ republic and the transfer of philosophical and theoretical ideas. A full reconstruction of all the book holdings that were formerly available is possible thanks to the favourable situation with regard to sources. Furthermore, thanks to the fact that the provenances can be recreated in many cases, it will be possible to obtain important information about the individual book holdings and reading habits of artists and patrons in 19th century Rome. The scholarly monograph will examine these types of research problems in the form of case studies and publish the most important documents as sources.
