Medicinae Alumni Vitebergenses (MAV). A prosopographical study of the medical alumni of Leucorea and their significance for the development and dissemination of a medicine influenced by the Wittenberg Reformers (1502-1648)

该项目结合了两个目标，即1)对从1502年至1648年在维滕贝格大学学习医学和/或哲学的所有后来的医生进行系统和全面的人口学分析，以及2)调查维滕贝格医学校友对医学发展和传播的重要性，这一医学受到维滕贝格改革者及其神学和人类学的重大影响。该项目的构思是与DFG已提供资金的语料库项目(CIV)和维特伯根斯校友神学项目(TAV)以及即将(重新)提交的法律校友维特伯根斯(JAV)项目密切合作的。传记分析将涉及维滕贝格的社会和地理背景、典型的职业模式和经济状况，以及可能表明在威滕贝格度过的时间对晚年生活产生具体影响的传记方面，如选择其他大学和后来从事专业活动的地点、城市或私人医生的职位，甚至是教授或学校人员的职位，以及与其他医生和学者以及王子、赞助人和作品的个人关系。此外，还将为每位校友编制一份他的出版物清单。所有数据将通过互联网通过CIV数据库免费访问。在人像分析的基础上，将调查维滕贝格医学校友对开发和传播一种专门的维滕贝格医学的重要性。首先，他们对某些主题的偏好将作为一个整体进行审查，寻找对与改革者的神学和人类学有特别密切联系的主题的特殊兴趣。这些主题包括胎儿的动画(悲剧与受孕后几天或几周的连续动画)，妖魔学边缘的现象，如“摇头丸”，即灵魂暂时从活着的身体上移走，幻觉和狼人，作为宗教信仰的物质基础的情感的影响，以及作为神圣创造的宏伟证据的解剖学。一小部分文本，基于前面的探索性研究，有望特别揭示一个具体的维滕堡医学的问题，将被详细分析，并与其他作者关于同一主题的著作进行比较。

This project combines two goals, namely 1) a systematic and comprehensive prosopographic analysis of all later physicians who studied medicine and/or philosophy at the University of Wittenberg from its foundation in 1502 until 1648, and 2) the investigation of the importance of the Wittenberg medical alumni for the development and dissemination of a medicine that was significantly influenced by the Wittenberg reformers and their theology and anthropology. The project was conceived in close cooperation with the projects Corpus Inscriptorum Vitebergense (CIV) and Theologiae Alumni Vitebergenses (TAV), both of which are already funded by the DFG, and with a project on Jurisprudentiae Alumni Vitebergenses (JAV), which will be (re)submitted soon. The prosopographical analysis will deal with the social and geographical background, typical career patterns and financial circumstances, as well as with biographical aspects that may suggest a specific influence of the time spent in Wittenberg on later life, such as the choice of other universities and the place of later professional activity, positions as city or personal physicians or even as professors or school men and networks and personal relationships with other doctors and scholars as well as with princes and patrons and works. In addition, for each alumnus a list of his publications will be compiled. All data will be freely accessible through the CIV database via internet. Based on the prosopographic analysis, the importance of the Wittenberg medical alumni for the development and dissemination of a specifically Wittenbergian medicine will be investigated. First, their preferences for certain topics will be examined as a whole, looking for a special interest in topics that had particularly close connections to the theology and anthropology of the Reformers. These include in topics such as the animation of the fetus (traducianism vs. successive animation days or weeks after conception), phenomena on the borderline of demonology such as "ecstasy", i.e. the temporary removal of the soul from the living body, hallucinations and lycanthropy, the affects as the physical basis of religious belief as feeling, and anatomy as proof of the magnificence of divine creation. A small selection of texts which, based on the preceding exploratory studies, promise to be particularly revealing for the question of a specifically Wittenbergian medicine, will be analyzed in detail and compared with the writings of other authors on the same topic.
