Abstract
From the last third of the 16th century until the mid 17th century, the Consolation Genre was extremely fashionable. Then it disappeared. What meaning to give to this genre illustrated by the greatest prose writers and, more particularly, to its sudden disappearance? To answer these questions, the author examines the many consolations found in Secrétaire de la Cour (Puget de La Serre, 1625) and Recueil de lettres nouvelles (Nicolas Faret, 1627). Consolatory speeches were delivered mostly to comfort mourners. Then, they became more and more frequently associated with retreat, whether for political or religious reasons, until retreat supplanted consolation. At a time that grief violated the morality of the court and that complaint was socially unacceptable, retreat allowed for the possibility to complain secretly about the unbearable constraints imposed by court life. With this new noble morality, associated with neo-Stoicism, complaints that were expressed through consolation were valiantly muted.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
