| Abstract | This session aims at presenting the goals and objectives of the SFB project: 'Managing Maximilian (1493-1519). Persona, Politics, and Personnel through the Lens of Digital Prosopography'. The project ambitions are to better understand the role played by vast networks of agents in the nascent Habsburg Monarchy. These agents appear in the documentation generated by Maximilian's chanceries and administration. Their profiles are very diverse: administrators and officers from the top to the lowest level, from the central institutions to the local administrations; as well as artists, humanists, and scholars, envoys and diplomats. This session will propose a series of three papers focusing on specific networks: 1. the chancery personnel and the connections that they created between actors through paper work; 2. craftsmen and artisans involved in the mass (and also luxurious) production of weapons; and 3. the chapel personnel and musicians working for Maximilian I. |
