Between Theology, Early Modern Science and Political Correspondence: The Socinian Exchange of Letters

基于图表的索西尼亚书信数字版为研究欧洲跨忏悔斗争提供了基础，以求在神学、早期现代科学和政治之间取得新的平衡。该版本涵盖了大约1580年到大约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过程信息。到目前为止，已编目的2047封信寄给了其他索西尼亚人或其他忏悔的学者，反映了宗教主题的历史化、合理化方法、早期现代科学问题及其方法论和政治信件之间的复杂相互依存关系。此外，索契尼亚书信还提供了对涵盖欧洲大部分地区的学术网络的宝贵见解。目前还没有适合研究的完整的索西尼亚书信的历史批判性版本。正在寻求的资金将用于识别所有这些信件，并将它们纳入数字版本。除了文本批判性评论、关于主题的评论和内容描述之外，基于图表的数字版本通过所包括文本的系统关键词，提供了基于地理、个人和主题的评价选择的好处。此外，该版本还包括与信件附在一起的天文现象的图形描述，其中大部分是以铜版雕刻的形式出版的，并说明了信件中讨论的主题。以前未发表的政治报告，其中有250多封信，也得到了同样的对待。通过这种方式，该版本为开启神学史、哲学史、科学史和文化史的新的跨学科研究领域创造了主要的来源先决条件。

The graph based digital edition 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 edition 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 2047 letters that have been catalogued to date, 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 edition of the Socinian correspondence suitable for research. The funding being sought will be used to identify all of these letters and incorporate them into the digital edition. In addition to textual-critical commentaries, commentaries on the subject matter and content descriptions, the graph based digital edition 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 edition incorporates 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 The previously unpublished political reports, which were enclosed with well over 250 letters, are treated in the same way. In this way, the edition 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.
