The philosophical reception of the Bible in the Middle Ages and its interpretation in the "longue durée"
Within the project, medieval textual witnesses from the rich commentary literature of the Gospel of John will be extensively transcribed, edited and enriched with additional metadata. In addition to a research data repository, various search, annotation, analysis and visualization services adapted to the project's research questions will be provided. In this way, approaches from qualitative and quantitative research will be brought together and enriched by additional methods.
Metaphors of Religion - SFB1475
The SFB 1475, located at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), aims to understand and methodically record the religious use of metaphors across times and cultures. To this end, the subprojects examine a variety of scriptures from Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Daoism, originating from Europe, the Near and Middle East, as well as South, Central, and East Asia, and spanning the period from 3000 BC to the present. For the first time, comparative studies on a unique scale are made possible through this collaborative effort.
Within the Collaborative Research Center, the SCC, together with colleagues from the Center for the Study of Religions (CERES) and the RUB, is leading the information infrastructure project "Metaphor Base Camp", in which the digital data infrastructure for all subprojects is being developed. The central component will be a research data repository with state-of-the-art annotation, analysis and visualization tools for the humanities data.
