"Künstlike Werltspröke" and "Schönes Rimbökelin" – Analysis and digital edition of middle low german sayings of the 16th century (renewal propose)

印刷商老约翰·巴尔霍恩（Johann Balhorn The Elder）出版了两本低地德语的对联诗集：《Werltspröke》（WS），在1601年之前至少发行了六个版本，《Rimbökelin》（RB）大约在1548年出版。这些集合包含大部分相同的文本，但大小不同；他们共收录了856首中古低地德语对联诗，一般为两行或四行，取材于印刷（有时也有手写）资料，偶尔与拉丁文本结合在一起。有时有更大的文本组，多达29对诗句（= 58行）。这些藏品主要从两本印刷作品中提取文本：“Reynke vosz de olde”（VD 16 R 990, 1539年由路德维希·迪茨在罗斯托克印刷）和“Dat nye ship van naragonien”（VD 16 B 7077, 1519年也由路德维希·迪茨印刷）。大部分的文本都是匿名的；只有大约20个文本中的一小部分被确定为具有权威地位，因为它们包含了圣经人物，古代哲学家或教父的参考。《WS》和《RB》无疑是中世纪晚期和近代早期德国北部最广泛、最具影响力的对联诗集。由于这种类型的诗歌汇编可以被认为是集体经验知识和取向的表达（Eikelmann 2009， S. 10*），同时也是信仰，价值观和标准的语言化（Hristova-Gotthardt 2010， S. 24），这些集合不仅构成了中低地德语语言和文学的核心部分，而且还具有教学词典的功能，可以深入了解表达，传播和修改规范概念的文化实践。它们将与著名的上德国约翰内斯·阿格里科拉和塞巴斯蒂安·弗兰克的收藏进行比较。该项目的主要目标是改进对这一重要语料库的访问，从而促进迄今为止不可能进行的彻底研究。该项目计划在TEI-XML的基础上开发一个数字版本；研究数据将以两种方式呈现：一个包含这一传统的高分辨率数字图像的网站，一个WS和RB的评论版，一个对传统的详细分析（包括对印刷品、语料库和文本的描述）和关于历史影响的信息，文本可能实现的信息，以及一个带有评论、翻译和精选图像的印刷版。

The printer Johann Balhorn the Elder produced two Low-German collections of couplet verses: The "Werltspröke" (WS), that circulated in at least six editions until 1601 and the "Rimbökelin" (RB) that was published about 1548. These collections contain mostly the same texts but differ in size; together they present 856 Middle Low German couplet verses of generally two or four lines that are taken from printed (and sometimes also hand-written) sources and that are occasionally combined with Latin paratexts. Sometimes there are larger groups of texts with up to 29 couplet verses (= 58 lines). The collections mainly extract their texts from two printed works: "Reynke vosz de olde" (VD 16 R 990, printed in 1539 by Ludwig Dietz in Rostock) and "Dat nye schip van Narragonien" (VD 16 B 7077, printed in 1519 also by Ludwig Dietz). The greater part of the texts is anonymous in both collections; only a small group of about 20 texts are identified as having authoritative status since they contain references to biblical characters, ancient philosophers or Church Fathers. The WS and the RB are without doubt the most extensive and most influential collections of couplet verses for Northern Germany in the Late Middle Ages and in early modern times. As this type of verse compilation can be identified as an expression of collective empirical knowledge and orientation (Eikelmann 2009, S. 10*) and at the same time as a verbalisation of beliefs, values and standards (Hristova-Gotthardt 2010, S. 24), the collections do not only constitute a central part of Middle Low German language and literature but also function as didactic thesauri that allow insight into the cultural practice of expressing, transmitting and modifying normative concepts. They are to be compared with the well-known Upper German collections of Johannes Agricola and Sebastian Franck. The main objective of the project is to enable improved access to this important corpus, and thereby to facilitate the thorough research that has not been possible so far. The project plans to develop a digital edition on the basis of TEI-XML; the research data will be presented in two ways: A website that contains high-resolution digital images of this tradition, a commented edition of the WS and the RB, a detailed analysis of the tradition (with a description of the prints, the corpus and the texts) and information about the historical impact, the texts could achieve and a printed edition with a commentary, translations and selected images.
