Heidelberg Bibliography of Translations of Nonfictional Texts

该项目旨在提供主要来自现代早期的非小说文本翻译的全面在线书目，即1450年至1800年期间出版的非文学文本的德语翻译集。在所设想的三年任期内，将实现三个单独的目标：首先，将开发技术基础设施，使注册用户能够通过安全的用户界面创建书目条目。此外，还将有一个公共网络接口，外部研究人员和其他感兴趣的个人可以访问该数据库，并指定他们的搜索参数，以确定他们需要的条目。第二，鉴于我们的主要任务是收集数据，我们将汇编一个从英语和荷兰语翻译成德语的数据库。尽管belles-felles将被排除在外，但文本将涵盖广泛的主题，从自然科学，医学和技术，通过历史文献和旅行报告到神学论文。此外，我们将从两个现有的现代早期德语翻译书目（罗马-德语“萨尔布吕肯Übersetzungsbibliographie”/“萨尔布吕肯翻译书目”和拉丁-德语“萨尔布吕肯Übersetzungsbibliographie - Latein”/“萨尔布吕肯翻译书目-拉丁”），这也是由DFG资助的数据转移。至于我们预计在资助期结束前汇编的条目数量，我们估计荷兰语-德语条目约为3，500个，英语-德语条目约为14，000个;此外，将有大约4,700名法国-德国，1,550名意大利-德国和370名西班牙-德国参赛作品，以及超过7，我们可以从1450年至1850年期间的现有书目中转移300个拉丁德语条目。最后，第三个目标是让感兴趣的研究人员能够进入我们的内部用户界面，使他们能够创建自己的专业书目。外部用户将能够为自己的目的搜索和使用通过该项目提供的数据和上述专门书目。在这方面，与优先方案“新生儿文化教育”密切合作，（《近代早期的翻译文化》）（SPP 2130）的设想。总的来说，我们认为我们的项目是对数字人文领域的贡献：一方面，艺术和人文学科的一个典型主题将在网上免费提供，同时，感兴趣的研究人员可以使用我们的IT基础设施来协作扩展整个数据库。

This project aims to provide a comprehensive online bibliography of translations of nonfictional texts mainly from the early modern period, i.e. the collection of German translations of non-literary texts published between 1450 and 1800. There are three individual objectives to be accomplished during the envisaged three-year term:Firstly, a technical infrastructure will be developed to allow registered users to create bibliographical entries through a secured user interface. Moreover, there will also be a public web interface whereby external researchers and other interested individuals can access the database and specify their search parameters to identify the entries they require.Secondly, seeing that our main task concerns the collection of data, we will compile a database of translations from English and Dutch into German. Even though belles-lettres will be excluded, the texts will cover a wide range of subject matters, from natural sciences, medicine and technology via historical documents and travel reports to theological essays. In addition, we will transfer data from two existing bibliographies of German translations in the early modern period (Romance-German “Saarbrücker Übersetzungsbibliographie”/“Saarbrücken Translation Bibliography” and Latin-German “Saarbrücker Übersetzungsbibliographie – Latein”/“Saarbrücken Translation Bibliography – Latin”), which were also funded by the DFG. As for the number of entries we expect to have compiled by the end of the funding period, we estimate that there will be approximately 3,500 entries for Dutch–German and 14,000 for English–German; in addition there will be around 4,700 entries for French–German, 1,550 entries for Italian–German and 370 entries for Spanish–German as well as more than 7,300 entries for Latin–German that we can transfer from the existing bibliographies for the period between 1450 and 1850. Altogether the database will comprise more than 30,000 entries in the end.Lastly, the third objective is to grant interested researchers access to our internal user interface to enable them to create their own specialised bibliographies. External users will then be able to search and use both the data provided through this project and the aforementioned specialised bibliographies for their own purposes. In this context, a close cooperation with the priority programme “Übersetzungskulturen der Frühen Neuzeit” (“cultures of translation in the early modern period”) (SPP 2130) is envisaged.Overall we consider our project to be a contribution to the field of Digital Humanities: on the one hand, a typical subject matter of the Arts and Humanities will be made accessible online and free of charge while, at the same time, interested researchers can use our IT infrastructure to collaboratively expand the overall database.
