Abstract
This article argues that masculinity must be considered historically as an aspect of identity, made by individual men for themselves through a dynamic between pressures from the interior (self-perceptions and assessments) and the exterior (social prescriptions). For premodern Europe, we can most easily retrieve the individual self through its social imprint: the social self. Records from the courts of the Church (defamation suits) and of Chancery (petitions) show us that, for fifteenth-century Englishmen, the concerns which constituted reputation fell, in varying proportions, on both sides of the highly porous boundary between public and private worlds. Livelihood, family dealings, household governance, and sexuality all might play a role, sometimes in unexpected ways. This was true also of the clergy, a socially important minority of men. Legal records show us how crucially language served to mediate the equilibrium between individual and society in producing meanings of masculinity.

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.
