Abstract
Abstract In the most recent issue of The Library , Nancy Peters Maude has suggested that four of the thirteen ‘Ajax’ pamphlets of 1596 extend the duration of the ‘known collaboration’ of 1597 between the printers John Danter and Edward Allde. Unfortunately, she seems unaware that ‘her’ identification of Allde as the printer of STC 12783 was anticipated in 1991 by the STC Addenda and Corrigenda. From there she goes on to credit Allde with Robert Robinson’s share of STC 12782, and wrongly ‘identifies’ Danter as the printer of not only Allde’s real share of that book (and, for good measure, the unnoticed contribution by Valentine Simmes) but also the whole of STC 12780–1 (both actually shared by Allde and John Windet). To resolve this confusion, this paper first explains and corrects Maude’s misattributions, and then more carefully identifies the printer or printers of each of the nine remaining pamphlets, concluding with a list that presents the essential facts about all thirteen.

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
