Abstract
This essay shares results of an archives-based pedagogical project at the University of Victoria. A brief introduction outlines the University’s medieval and early modern holdings and recent instructor-student collaborations; three sections present new findings about a selection of Victoria manuscripts and fragments: a grant of Hubert de Burgh discovered to bear the only known complete seal from Hubert’s early career; a single leaf of Constantine the African’s translation of Isaac Israeli’s Liber dietarium, here identified for the first time; and a Breviary with a calendar that places it at the boundaries of late fifteenth-century Habsburg territories. Transcriptions are included as appendices.

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
