The African Paradise of Cardinal Carvajal: New Light on the "Kunstmann II Map," 1502-1506
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Le symbole du paradis que l’on voit sur la carte géographique du monde «Kunstmann II» (1502–1506) offre à l’historien un point de départ remarquable pour l’exploration des idées européennes sur un paradis terrestre en Afrique et des perceptions européennes de l’Afrique aux environs de 1500. Une analyse attentive de l’iconographie de cette carte met en lumière son contexte et ses objectifs. Les armoiries présentes sur le grand arbre du paradis appartiennent au cardinal espagnol Bernardino López de Carvajal (1456–1523), ambassadeur de l’Espagne auprès du pape. Carvajal, qui a joué un rôle important dans le cadre du traité de Tordesillas, était un partisan convaincu d’une nouvelle croisade contre l’Islam en Afrique et au Moyen Orient qui visait la reconquête de Jérusalem et l’expansion de la foi chrétienne dans le monde.

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.
