Flacius Correspondence - A Digital Edition

马提亚·弗拉西乌斯自称为伊利里库斯，他是当时最具洞察力但也最受鄙视的学者之一。他知识的广泛性，对政治和历史、天文学/占星术和地理学、神学和解释学的兴趣，以及他对16世纪下半叶神学争论的参与，给了他一个不容置疑的形象，这很难通过观察他非常重要的论文和文学作品来全面理解。更能说明问题的是他的信件，这些信件让我们了解到他在整个欧洲大陆建立了一个覆盖整个欧洲的网络。弗拉修斯的书信往来可以重建他那个时代的文化和思想的转移，并允许学者们整理他的概念思维，他的神学发展，以及他在国际思想交流中对他那个时代的学术和政治发展的参与。它也创造了一种可能性，聚焦于一个因宗教信仰而移民和被流放的人的日常生活经历。到目前为止，弗拉西乌斯的书信往来一直是在与他更广泛的书信交流无关的情况下进行研究的，而且是在特定的问题上进行研究的，这些问题总是与一个特定的问题或讨论有关。这使得解释弗拉西乌斯的观点变得狭隘，直到现在这种情况仍然存在。本申请正在提交的综合版信件旨在解决这种情况，它基于“信件”的广泛定义，包括专门的序言，并对文本进行创新的数字分析，因为它为处理信件和评估信件提供了多方面的可能性。一份结构化的摘要将伴随着电子版本的通信，这将保证每一件都放在它的上下文中。文本批判和内容导向的评论为理解信件提供了必要的信息。在先前已经完成的准备工作和汇编在数据库中的清单的基础上，该版本的工作可以毫不拖延地开始，并可以作为一项正在进行的工作提供。在向该项目提交申请的前三年支助期内，将最后确定语料库来源，建立技术基础设施，作为开展工作的有效过程的先决条件，并完成第一个模块项目的编辑。与美因茨科学、人文和文学学院（ADW）的合作保证了资金的有效管理，所需的数字基础设施，以及项目中产生的研究数据的长期可用性。

Matthias Flacius, who took the epithet Illyricus for himself, was among the most insightful but most despised scholars of his time. His intellectual versatility, embracing interests in politics and history, astronomy/astrology and geography, theology and hermeneutics, along with his participation in the theological controversies of the second half of the sixteenth century have given him an unmistakable profile that can hardly be comprehended in its full breadth through viewing his very important treatises and literary work. Much more telling is his correspond-ence, which offers insights into his construction of a European-wide network that stretched across all of the continent. The correspondence of Flacius permits reconstruction of the transfer of culture and ideas at his time, and allows scholars to sort out his conceptual think-ing, the development of his theology, and his participation in scholarship and political devel-opments of his time in the international exchange of ideas. It also creates the possibility of focusing on the experiences in the daily life of one who emigrated and was exiled for the sake of his religious convictions.Up to this point the correspondence of Flacius has been examined in instances disconnected from his wider epistolary exchanges and as specific questions gave occasion, always in rela-tionship to a specifically defined question or discussion. This has contributed to a narrowing of the perspective from which Flacius has been interpreted, and this remains the case until the present time. The comprehensive edition of the correspondence, for which this applica-tion is being submitted, intends to counter this situation, based upon a broad definition of »let-ter« including dedicatory prefaces, with an innovative digital analysis of the texts, in that it offers many-sided possibilities for approaching the correspondence and evaluating the let-ters.A structured abstract will accompany the digital edition of the correspondence, which will guarantee that each piece is placed in its context. Text-critical and content-oriented com-mentaries provide the information necessary for understanding the letters. On the basis of previous preparations already completed and the inventory that has been assembled in a data bank, the work on the edition can begin without delay, and can be made accessible as a work in progress. In the first three year period of support of the project for which this appli-cation is being submitted the corpus sources is to be finalized, the technical infrastructure as a presupposition for an efficient process for conducting the work is to be created, and the edition of items in the first module is to be completed.The cooperation with the Academy of Sciences, Humanities and Literature / Mainz (ADW) guarantees an efficient administration of funds, the required digital infrastructure, along with the long-term availability of the research data produced in the project.
