Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A previously unpublished casket now in Toronto shares some formal and compositional features with the small corpus of known silver reliquaries produced in the eastern Mediterranean during Late Antiquity; at the same time, it differs from these in iconographic (and orthographic) particulars and in style. Investigation of a wide range of comparanda in diverse media reveals that the principal message of the reliquary’s decoration is the adoration of the cross on Golgotha, conflated with the baptism of Christ to symbolize the source of life. It was likely made in Palestine during the reign of Heraclius and perhaps can be associated with that emperor’s restoration of the True Cross to Jerusalem. As the first attested silver reliquary with figural decoration from that region, it significantly expands our knowledge of artistic production in Palestine in the early seventh century.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
