Abstract
This dense and detailed collection of case studies provides an authoritative overview of waterborne festivities in Renaissance Europe.The volume is presented as a festschrift for J.R. Mulryne, who directed the research program 'Festivals of the European Renaissance' at Warwick's Centre for the Study of the European Renaissance and whose biography introduces this volume in a two-page head note (ix-x).The twenty-one essays range across different European geographies, with concentrations in France, Italy, and England in the later sixteenth century.Some chapters cover more than one location, but a rough count indicates seven chapters primarily exploring festivals in Italy, six on festivals in England, four on French festivals, and smaller numbers concerning festivals in Spain, Denmark, or other locations.Margaret Shewring's introduction frames the project as exploring 'the cultural significance of th[e] liquid environment' (1) for Renaissance Europe.She celebrates the diversity of the festivals as a 'testament to the wealth of commentary invited by waterborne events' (1) and suggests that this volume aims to produce a 'coherent overview' designed to stimulate 'further study of this important topic' (7).With equal attention to the engineering feats and cultural meanings of waterborne spectacles, the succeeding chapters provide

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
