Johann Arndt (1555-1621) is regarded as one of the most important and prolific Protestant theologians of the early modern period. His Four Books on True Christianity are without doubt the most successful and influential of Arndt's publications. The first edition, which included only the first book, was published in 1605. However, Arndt thoroughly revised the first book and added three more. The four books appeared as a complete edition in 1610. It later went through hundreds of editions and was translated into different languages across Europe and abroad, gaining international, even global stature. The goal of this project is to develop for the first time a commentated, historical-critical hybrid edition of Arndt's work that will document the origins of the text and his multifaceted reception of patristic, medievalmystical, and paracelsic-hermetic traditions. This critical edition will address the pressing need in scholarship for interpretive aids to Arndt's work. It will also serve as a unique and compelling memorial to a highly influential opus of early-modern literature. Thus, future researchers in church history and German studies will have access to very best textual analysis and interpretive aids to Arndt's work to date. The edition will appear gradually, both as a printed work and as a hypertextversion in Open Access. The Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt will provide for the electronic publication and the long-term digital archiving. The edition of BWC I is already in print (cf. attachment 1); the edition of BWC II will be completed until the beginning of the second funding period. During the funding applied for here, the BWC III and IV editions will be finalized and the project will be completed.

约翰·阿恩特（Johann Arndt，1555-1621）被认为是现代早期最重要、最多产的新教神学家之一，他的《关于真实基督教的四本书》无疑是阿恩特出版物中最成功和最有影响力的，其中仅包括第一版。第一本书于 1605 年出版。然而，阿恩特对第一本书进行了彻底修改，并增加了三本书。这四本书于 1610 年作为完整版本出现。后来又经历了数百本。该项目的目标是首次开发阿恩特作品的评论性、历史批判混合版本，记录其起源。该文本以及他对教父主义、中世纪神秘主义和超自然封闭传统的多方面接受，这一批判性版本将满足学术界对阿恩特作品的解释性帮助的迫切需要，它也将成为对阿恩特作品的独特而引人注目的纪念。因此，未来的教会历史和德国研究的研究人员将能够获得迄今为止对阿恩特作品的最好的文本分析和解释帮助，该版本将逐渐以印刷品和形式出现。达姆施塔特大学和州立图书馆将提供开放获取的超文本版本，并提供电子出版物和长期数字存档。 BWC I 版本已经印刷（参见附件）。 1)；《生物武器公约》第二版将在第二个资助期开始时完成，在此申请资助期间，《生物武器公约》第三版和第四版将完成，项目将完成。
