Jacob Burckhardt, Lecture on early modern history, vol. 1: 16th century, critical edition from the original manuscripts with commentary, edited by Hans Berner, Wolfgang Hardtwig, Christine Tauber, with the collaboration of Jürgen Große and Wolfram Knäbich

作为雅各布·伯克哈特全集评论版的一部分，该出版物旨在首次提供他关于早期现代史的讲座手稿和他关于反改革时代的讲座。这里将原稿和伯克哈特？S的增补和副刊结合在一起，就文本批评问题和内容进行分析。这些首次出版的材料和对伯克哈特·S来源的重建使他能够追溯到他对欧洲早期现代时期的解释；因此，它们构成了19世纪史学历史的重要来源。这一评论版的出版是雅各布·伯克哈特(雅各布·伯克哈特·沃克，JBW)全集不可或缺的一部分，也是非常需要的，因为关于早期现代史的讲座为伯克哈特·S关于现代欧洲国家形成的观点提供了一些未知的方面。虽然学者们熟知他对意大利文艺复兴的看法，但还没有书面资料来传达他对北欧文艺复兴和宗教改革的解读。因此，关于早期现代史和反改革时代的讲演手稿的评论版的出版将涵盖雅各布·伯克哈特全集的一个重要愿望。同时，它也为我们了解伯克哈特·S的历史观及其超越历史决定论的独特史学思想提供了一条途径。

As part of the critical edition of the complete works of Jacob Burckhardt, this publication is meant to make accessible for the first time his lecture manuscripts on early modern history and his lectures on the times of counter-reformation. The original manuscripts and Burckhardt¿s additions and supplements are here joined together and analyzed regarding text critical issues and content. These materials, published for the first time, and the reconstruction of Burckhardt¿s sources allow to trace back his interpretation of the early modern period in Europe; as such, they constitute a paramount source for the history of 19th-century historiography. The publication of this critical edition with commentary is an indispensable part of the complete works of Jacob Burckhardt (Jacob Burckhardt Werke, JBW) and highly in need, as the lectures on early modern history shed new light on some unknown aspects of Burckhardt¿s view on the formation of the modern European states. Whereas scholars are acquainted with his ideas about the Italian Renaissance, there has been no written source to transmit his reading of Renaissance and Reformation in Northern Europe. The publication of the critical edition of the lecture manuscripts on early modern history and on the times of counter-reformation will hence cover an important desideratum of the complete works of Jacob Burckhardt. At the same time it provides access to until now unknown aspects of Burckhardt¿s conception of history and of his specific historiographical thought beyond historicism.
