Online Repertory of German Translations of Classical Antiquity 1501-1620

该项目打算提供一个完整的资料库，记录1501年至1620年间古拉丁语和希腊语文学翻译成德语的翻译(印刷和手稿)。因此，该资料库将第一次捕捉到在人文主义和宗教改革时期在德语国家被翻译的古典和晚期(直到公元600年)文本的准确数量。这些古代作品的翻译标志着翻译的文化技巧的起点，这成为早期现代文化的关键。在这种情况下，晚期古董基督教作品的翻译实际上将有史以来第一次全部登记。文本见证人将被呈现在一个可公开访问的持久关系数据库中，该数据库可以按作者、作品标题、翻译者、投稿人、受赠人、印刷地点、印刷商、出版商、出版年份等类别进行搜索。印刷品和手稿的结构往往复杂，将通过对使用户能够重建个人网络、本地中心等的内容的详细描述来准备进行分析。所有已知姓名的译者的简短传记和详细参考书目提供了了解当前研究状况的便捷途径。在第二个资助期，将在OCR软件的帮助下转录副文字，并将其纳入数据库。从1450年开始，尚未系统记录的基督教古代翻译将被报告。因此，在早期现代翻译文化的关键时期，该资料库将为进一步的语言、媒体或文化研究提供一个容易获取和可搜索的基础。

The Project intends to provide a complete repertory that documents the transmission (in print and manuscript) of translations of ancient Latin and Greek literature into German between 1501 and 1620. The repertory will thus capture for the first time the exact quantity of texts written in classical and late antiquity (until c. 600 AD) that were translated in the German speaking countries in the period of Humanism and the Reformation. These translations of ancient works mark the starting point of the cultural technique of translation which became pivotal for Early Modern culture. In this context the translations of late antique Christian works will actually be registered in their entirety for the first time ever. Textual witnesses will be presented in an openly accessible, persistent relational data base which can be searched by categories such as author, work title, translator, contributor, dedicatee, printing place, printer, publisher, year of publication etc. The often complex structure of the prints and manuscripts will be prepared for analysis by detailed descriptions of content that enable the user to reconstruct personal networks, local centres and the like. Short biographies and detailed bibliographies for all translators known by name provide easy access to the current state of research. In the second funding period, the paratexts will be transcribed with the aid of OCR software and will be included into the database. Translations of Christian antiquity that are not yet recorded systematically will be reported starting with the year 1450.The repertory will thereby provide an easily accessible and searchable base for further linguistic, medial or cultural studies in a crucial period of Early Modern translation culture.
