A new edition of the German writings of Heinrich Seuse

海因里希·休斯(约1295/96-1366)是除梅斯特·埃克哈特和约翰尼斯·陶勒之外，中世纪晚期最重要的德国神秘主义者。他的著作远远超出了德国的语言领域，直到今天才广为人知。早在14世纪，休斯的德文著作就被收录在所谓的范本中，在学术文献中被认为是权威的版本，并作为作者作品传播的起点。关于Seuse的科学研究的基础是直到现在由Karl Bihlmeyer从1907年开始的版本：这个版本涉及到一个重建的，范例，以及Seuse的信件和布道，这不是，范例的一部分，Seuse的书信和布道，这不是，范例‘。这些不同的文本风格不仅对休斯作品的接受史很重要，而且是它们一定很受欢迎的见证；此外，它们还表明，范例对于传输Seuse的著作的重要性必须重新讨论：一方面，范例“只构成整个传播的一小部分(远远超过600份手稿)，而另一方面，即使不在范例中，范例也是以统一的形式传播的，但有不同的版本。该项目的目标是独立于范例的上下文，制作新版的Heinrich Seuse的德文著作”，并在此向科学界提供这些著作的新的文本基础，其中考虑到它们所经历的不同形式的节录和接受。该版本将以两种方式出版：将有一个版本作为印刷书籍，该版本将成为未来研究的新的、具有科学效力的参考；将有一个数字版本，以互动的方式进一步提供有关文本历史和编纂问题的信息。

Heinrich Seuse (ca 1295/96-1366) is, besides Meister Eckhart and Johannes Tauler, the most important German mystic of the later Middle Ages. His writings had a reception far beyond the German linguistic region, and he is widely kown until today.Already in the 14th century, Seuse’s German writings have been collected in the so-called ‚Exemplar‘ which in the scholarly literature is recognized as an ‚authoritative edition‘, and as the starting point for the transmission of the author’s writings. The basis for the scientific research on Seuse is until now the edition by Karl Bihlmeyer from 1907: this edition is concerned with a reconstruction of the ‚Exemplar‘, that Seuse himself has putatively authorized, as well as with Seuse’s letters and sermons, that are not part of the ‚Exemplar‘.The transmission of Seuse’s German writings, though, demonstrates that of each of these writings different textual versions or redactions have survived. These different textual strains are important not only for the reception history of Seuse’s writings, and as a witness to the great popularity they must have had; moreover they show that the importance of the ‚Exemplar‘ for the transmission of Seuse’s writings has to be discussed anew: on the one hand, with 15 testimonies the ‚Exemplar‘ forms only a minor part of the overall transmission (far more than 600 manuscripts), and on the other hand, not even within the ‚Exemplar‘ are Seuse’s writings transmitted in a unified form, but in diverse versions.The aim of the project is a new edition of the German writings of Heinrich Seuse, independently from the context of the ‚Exemplar‘, and herewith to make available to the scientific comunity a new textual basis for these writings that takes into consideration the different forms of redaction and reception they underwent. The edition will be published in two ways: there will be an edition as printed book, and this edition will be a new, scientifically valid reference for future reasearch; and there will be a digital edition which further offers information on the textual history and codicological matters in an interactive way.
