Histories in Transition. The Case of Freising and Salzburg (9th – 12th c.)

该项目旨在通过对这一时期的两个主要历史写作中心--萨尔茨堡和弗赖辛进行创新和准确的重点调查，挑战目前对加洛林时代和后加洛林时代世界(9-12世纪)历史学文化史的理解。我们想要探索在加洛林世界的转变过程中，思考、组织、编纂和撰写历史的方式在9世纪和12世纪之间发生了怎样的变化。该项目将探讨编撰历史知识的新方法如何改变历史的概念化和意义、历史的一般界限以及历史在这两个中心的(真实或“想象”的)图书馆中的地位。该项目将利用这两个重要的巴伐利亚学习中心(萨尔茨堡和弗赖辛)编写和改写历史作为了解这些进程的窗口。利用手稿生产的重要性研究的最新进展，我们将分析中世纪历史学家是如何使用羊皮纸、钢笔和刀的。我们将研究关于历史的文本被记录下来并与手稿中的其他文本相结合的不同方式；并确定在多个文本手稿(MTM)中选择脚本、插页、注释以及与其他文本绘制的上下文关联对于产生历史意义的后果。其次，我们将调查这些生产形式的社会背景和知识视野：其中涉及哪些利益？这些法典对社会的影响是可以确定的吗？历史思维是以什么方式变为现实的--它在9世纪和12世纪初之间发生了变化吗？我们的指导性问题旨在：(A)语境化(B)作为历史知识武器库的图书馆和经文以及(C)形式的意义。同时，这个项目是一个更大的国际合作项目的试点研究：在大约35份手稿的基础上，我们定义了一个国际项目的标准，不仅涉及上述内容方面，而且还涉及收集的材料的数字表示。

The project aims to challenge the current understanding of the cultural history of historiography in the Carolingian and post-Carolingian world (9th – 12th centuries) with an innovative and precisely focussed investigation of two major centres of historical writing during this period, Salzburg and Freising. We want to explore how in the course of the transformation of the Carolingian World, the ways of thinking about, organising, compiling and writing history changed between the 9th and 12th centuries. The project will explore how new approaches to the codification of historical knowledge changed the conceptualisation and meaning of history, its generic boundaries, and its place in (real or “imagined”) libraries in these two centres. The project will use the writing and rewriting of history at these two important Bavarian centres of learning (Salzburg and Freising) as a window into these processes. Taking advantage of the recent advances in the study of the materiality of manuscript production, we shall analyse how medieval historiographers worked with parchment, pen and knife. We shall examine the different ways that texts about history were written down and combined with other texts in manuscripts; and determine the consequences of choice of scripts, mise-en-page, annotation and the contextual associations drawn with other texts in multiple text manuscripts (MTMs) had for the production of historical meaning. Secondly, we shall investigate the social context and the intellectual horizons of these forms of production: What interests were involved? Can the impact of these codices on society be identified? In what way did historical thinking become tangible - and did it change between the 9th and the early 12th century? Our guiding questions aim at: (a) Contextualisation (b) Libraries and scriptoria as arsenals of historical knowledge and (c) the Meaning of the form. At the same time, this project is a pilot study for a larger international collab-orative undertaking: On the basis of ca. 35 manuscripts, we define the standards for an international project, not only with regard to the content aspects mentioned above, but also to the digital representation of the collected material.
