Johann Arndt's (1555-1621) Four Books of True Christianity (1610): A Critical Hybrid Edition with Commentary

约翰·阿恩特（Johann Arndt，1555-1621）被认为是近代早期最重要、最多产的新教神学家之一。他的四本书真正的基督教无疑是最成功和最有影响力的阿恩特的出版物。第一版，其中只包括第一本书，出版于1605年。然而，阿恩特彻底修改了第一本书，并增加了三个。这四本书于1610年作为完整版出版。它后来经历了数百个版本，并被翻译成欧洲和国外的不同语言，获得了国际，甚至全球的地位。这个项目的目标是首次开发一个阿恩特作品的简化的，历史批判的混合版本，将记录文本的起源和他对教父，中世纪神秘主义和paracelsic-hermetic传统的多方面接受。这一关键版本将解决迫切需要在奖学金的解释艾滋病阿恩特的工作。它也将作为一个独特的和令人信服的纪念早期现代文学的一个非常有影响力的作品。因此，未来的研究人员在教会历史和德国的研究将有机会获得最好的文本分析和解释艾滋病阿恩特的工作日期。该版本将逐渐出现，既作为印刷作品，也作为开放获取的超文本版本。达姆施塔特大学图书馆将提供电子出版物和长期数字存档。《第一次生物武器公约》的版本已经付印（参见《生物武器公约》）。附件1）;《生物武器公约第二版》将在第二个供资期开始前完成。在这里申请资金期间，《生物武器公约》第三和第四版将定稿，项目也将完成。

Johann Arndt (1555-1621) is regarded as one of the most important and prolific Protestant theologians of the early modern period. His Four Books on True Christianity are without doubt the most successful and influential of Arndt's publications. The first edition, which included only the first book, was published in 1605. However, Arndt thoroughly revised the first book and added three more. The four books appeared as a complete edition in 1610. It later went through hundreds of editions and was translated into different languages across Europe and abroad, gaining international, even global stature. The goal of this project is to develop for the first time a commentated, historical-critical hybrid edition of Arndt's work that will document the origins of the text and his multifaceted reception of patristic, medievalmystical, and paracelsic-hermetic traditions. This critical edition will address the pressing need in scholarship for interpretive aids to Arndt's work. It will also serve as a unique and compelling memorial to a highly influential opus of early-modern literature. Thus, future researchers in church history and German studies will have access to very best textual analysis and interpretive aids to Arndt's work to date. The edition will appear gradually, both as a printed work and as a hypertextversion in Open Access. The Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt will provide for the electronic publication and the long-term digital archiving. The edition of BWC I is already in print (cf. attachment 1); the edition of BWC II will be completed until the beginning of the second funding period. During the funding applied for here, the BWC III and IV editions will be finalized and the project will be completed.
