Abstract
Collecting became an important practice for Italian élites, resulting in the emergence of novel cultural and political spaces, particularly in the fifteenth-century courts, amongst which may be numbered the studiolo. The literature on collecting has often focused on one specific patron and on his or her particular sensibilities and personality in relation to the materials collected. Rather than viewing collectable items as static objects, or simply as the reflection of a patron’s tastes, this study investigates the ways in which artefacts circulated, connecting diverse individuals across space and time. Material possessions are examined not only as repositories of monetary value, but as objects which could be imbued with political meanings, memories, and obligations. This study reveals that both men and women participated in collecting, their respective political roles often being manifested in the things they collected and exchanged.

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 it
