Abstract
This little book is a modern reference guide for the brothers of the still-active confraternity of the white penitents in the French city of Montpellier, put together by its current officers.After a short one-page introduction, the manual begins with a modernization of the seventeenth-century booklet Les Saincts devoirs de l'Âme devote.This booklet was an adaptation of monastic exercises and prayers for the layman that was adopted as a guide to the spiritual obligations of members of the confraternity in the seventeenth century.It details spiritual exercises and prayers for different parts of the day and for different occasions.The second section is a guide to confraternal ceremonies, detailing the reception of novices, the manner and order of processions, and procedure to follow when in church.The third and longest section is a listing of the confraternity's feast days, each one with a brief description of its origin and a topical prayer.A chronological list of fixed feast days, beginning with the Immaculate Conception on 8 December, is followed by moveable feasts.The next section provides prayers for various occasions and then the book ends with some very brief lives of saints.The feast days and saints range from the ancient to the relatively recently established.Given that confraternal scholars so often work with documents from organizations that are long defunct, it is refreshing to encounter a living reference book from an active confraternity that incorporates elements from every era of the society's existence.

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.
