Abstract
The extensive enveloping of texts around key figures and events in the chansons de geste, taking at some point the form of enfances and genealogical fantasy, is a central fact of medieval narrative.While the most impressive example of epic cyclicalization undoubtedly remains the poems centered around Guillaume d'Orange, nothing really precluded any respectable epic character, theoretically at least, from falling under the further scrutiny of enterprising poet-scribes.With Jean Subrenat's edition of the Roman d'Auberon (Aub.)-akind of introduction to its more illustrious mate Huon de Bordeaux (HdB)-wider access is now possible to still another manifestation of the cycle process.The so-called Huon cycle is most fully represented in a single codex, seriously mutilated by fire and water, containing some miniatures, in Turin's National Library: L.II.14, fols.283-460.A colophon on fol.583v° indicates that the MS. was completed in June, 1311. 1 In addition to the core HdB and its equally anonymous prologue, this MS features a series of texts recounting the subsequent adventures of Huon, his wife Esclarmonde, and their offspring.2 Arturo Graf produced an indifferent 1 Convenient and somewhat fuller descriptions of MS L.II.14, at least as far as the Huon cycle poems are concerned, are given in F. Meunier, ed.La Chanson de Godin (Louvain, 1958), pp.xix-xxi and in P. Ruelle, ed.Huon de Bordeaux (Bruxelles, 1960), p. 12.At one point, this important MS. also included sizeable portions of the Geste des Lorrains, Herman de Valencienne's Roman de Sapience, Destruction de Jérusalem, and Beuve de Hantone.Unfortunately, nothing in Professor S. Edmund's authoritative review of the medieval Savoyard library appears to identify this codex as part of that illustrious collection (Scriptorium XXIV [1970], 318-327; XXV [1971], 253-284; XXVI [1972], 269-293).2 While Aub. is not encountered elsewhere, and while the Turin MS possesses the greatest number of cycle branches, a portion of the Huon continuations, as well as versions of HdB, is also found in B.N. MS fr.22555 and fr.1451, Max Schweigel did a semi-diplomatic edition of the bulk of the sequel: Esclarmonde, Clarisse et Florent, Yde et Olive, Drei Fortsetzungen der Chanson von Huon de Bordeaux (Marburg, 1891).See F. Meunier, Godin, pp.ix-xvi, for a concise analysis of these texts.Barbara A. Brewka is currently preparing a new edition of much of this 204

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.
