Philipp Jakob Spener as Genealogists

这个项目旨在研究1700年左右的家谱历史。它以菲利普·雅各布·斯宾纳（Philipp Jakob Spener）——他不仅是路德宗虔诚派的创始人之一，也是当时最重要的系谱学家之一——为例，研究系谱学家是如何工作的，以及他们是如何出版的。该项目进一步讨论了家谱的“世界”主题如何与突出的神学关注和批评相关，这不仅源于对犹太家谱实践的日益深入的研究。最后，该项目讨论了家谱知识如何与王朝身份相关，突出了学术和宫廷家谱方法之间的复杂冲突。

This project aims at studying the history of genealogy around 1700. It uses Philipp Jakob Spener - who was not only a founding father of Lutheran Pietism, but also one of the most important genealogists at the time - as a case study to investigate how genealogists worked and how they published. The project furthermore discusses how the 'worldy' topic of genealogy related to prominent theological concerns and criticisms, which originated not least from an increasingly in-depth study of Jewish genealogical practices. Finally, the project discusses how genealogical knowledge related to dynastic identities, highlighting the complex conflicts between scholarly and courtly approaches to genealogy.
