Ralph Hanna, ed., <i>The Knightly Tale of Golagros and Gawane</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The metrical Arthurian romance Golagros and Gawane is one of the hidden gems of Older Scots literature.Thomas Hahn's edition of it for TEAMS (Kalamazoo, 1995) has brought it to the attention of a wider readership in recent years, but it has remained in need of a full scholarly edition.Hanna observes that Golagros was once 'fortunate to receive the attentions of F. J. Amours' (p.xlv, referring to Scottish Alliterative Poems in Riming Stanzas, 2 vols., STS 1 st ser.27, 38 [Edinburgh, 1897]).The text has once again been extremely fortunate to receive the attentions of Ralph Hanna.As he explains in the preface, Hanna took over the edition from W. R. J. Barron after the latter's death in 2005, but the introduction and notes are almost entirely his own.Hanna is generous in his praise of former editors and forthright when he disagrees with them.He also cheerfully disagrees with himself, describing a critical note from his own edition of The Awntyrs of Arthure at the Terne Wathelyn (Manchester, 1974) as 'perhaps wrongheaded' (note to ll. 274ff.).His detailed discussion of the sole extant witness to the text, the1508 Edinburgh print by Chepman and Myllar, represents an important contribution to the study of Scotland's earliest prints.Other sections of the introduction cover 'Language and Date' (on which more below), 'Sources,' and 'Past editions and this edition.''Sources' offers in passing a disconcertingly plausible argument for assigning a Scottish provenance to the Awntyrs of Arthure, always previously assumed to have been English (p.xxxv-xxxvi).The explanatory notes run to forty pages for the 1,365 lines of text; the glossary to fifty-five pages.The rhymed-alliterative stanzas of Golagros rely, like most medieval alliterative poems, on a

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
