Paul Gerhardt (1607–1676). Critical, annotated hybrid edition of all lyrica

保罗·格哈特（Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676）是巴洛克时代最多产的作家之一。在17世纪的德语地区，没有其他神圣的诗人有如此持久和深刻的影响。自从他们被包括在教堂的各种基督教忏悔中——通过会众的赞美诗和神圣的音乐表演的传统——许多格哈特的赞美诗成为并仍然是今天所有巴洛克作家中最著名的文本。葛哈特的研究属于文学、音乐史、赞美诗和历史神学等学科，一直非常活跃。除了马丁·路德（Martin Luther）和约翰·里斯特（Johann Rist）之外，没有其他早期现代赞美诗作家像格哈特那样被研究得如此透彻。因此，更紧迫的是，仍然没有保罗·格哈特的版本，甚至部分符合目前的语言学和编辑标准。在格哈特逝世350周年（2026年）之前填补这一明显的空白应该被视为早期现代研究跨学科社区的首要任务。该项目的目标是，在两卷，生产一个全面的，关键的，并注释混合版的格哈德的全部诗歌（德语和拉丁语），包括音乐文本在他们的原始设置。在这里要求的第一阶段资金中，将准备第一卷格哈特的赞美诗。一个研究小组已经准备好了，他们汇集了音乐、神学和编辑语言学方面的专业知识，并且已经在一个类似的项目（约翰·里斯特神圣的歌词作品的完整语料库的版本）上拥有多年的合作经验，该项目由DFG分两个阶段资助。该版本将以印刷版和开放获取的电子版本提供。后者将向用户提供各种额外资源（例如，电子资源和参考资料的链接、嵌入式传真）和搜索能力。达姆施塔特国立图书馆（Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt）将把数字版本的长期存储作为其数字图书馆的一部分。

Paul Gerhardt (1607–1676) is one of the most fruitful authors of the Baroque Age. In the seventeenth century, no other sacred poet in the German language area has had such an enduring and profound impact. Ever since their inclusion in church services among various Christian confessions – through congregational hymns and in the tradition of sacred musical performances – many of Gerhardt’s hymns became and remain still today the most well-known texts of all Baroque authors.Gerhardt research, to which belong the disciplines of literature, music history, hymnology, and historical theology, has been very active. No other early-modern hymnwriter, aside from Martin Luther and Johann Rist, has been so thoroughly studied as Gerhardt. Therefore, it is all the more pressing that there is still no edition of Paul Gerhardt that even partially meets the current philological and editorial standards. Filling this glaring lacuna leading up to the 350th year of Gerhardt’s death (2026) should be seen as a top priority of the interdisciplinary community of early-modern research.The goal of the project is, in two volumes, to produce a comprehensive, critical, and annotated hybrid-edition of Gerhard’s complete poems (German and Latin) including the music texts in their original settings. During the first phase of funding that is requested here, the first volume containing Gerhardt’s hymns will be prepared. A research team stands ready that pools together musical, theological, and editorial-philological expertise and already possesses years of experience working together on a similar project (edition of Johann Rist’s complete corpora of his sacred lyrical works) which was financed by the DFG in two funding phases.The edition will be made available in a printed version as well as in an electronic version through open access. The latter will provide users with a variety of additional resources (for example, links to electronically available sources and reference works, embedded facsimiles) and search capabilities. The Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt will see to the long-term storage of the digital edition as part of their digital library.
