Scientific Abstract
The edition and critical annotation of the travelogue of Hieronymus Münzer from the years 1494/95, the DFG project Gelehrtes Wissen. Reisen. Aufzeichungen. Hieronymus Münzer in der Nürnberger Wissensgesellschaft des 15. Jahrhunderts, is already complete. This edition is the basis for the actual application for a research grant. This application for a research grant serves to draw up three annotated indices which will considerably facilitate the access to the complete edition for the prospective users. The indices are as follows: First, an annotated index of persons with short and additional information about important biographical details. Second, a location index, containing the actual and obsolete toponyms. Third, a subject index with clarifications of terminology and foreign-language expressions. These indices make the edition more accessible to a broader field of research, as they facilitate the connectivity with different disciplines. In addition they promote a wide interdisciplinarity and support the planned electronic version.
