Abstract
The special feature of the illustrations of the Psalter of Simon, a Novgorod manuscript of the second quarter of the 14th century (State Historical Museum, Chlud. 3), is a large number of architectural images.The buildings depicted in the two miniatures at the beginning of the codex (fols 1v and 6v), forming the background for the main figures, have their counterparts in the Tver’ manuscript of the Chronicle of Georgios Amartolos of the late 13th — early 14th century (Russian State Library, MDA 100). The architectural structures of the second group — those in the scenes from the story of King David and in the illustrations to some Bibleverses —play the traditional role of flanking wings. However, they stand out for their voluminous cubic buildings, for their design in the form of quadras in the walls, for the presence of not only rectangular and arched, but round windows as well, and for various small towers on the roofs including the peaked ones reflecting the motifs of Gothic architecture. In the third group of miniatures, which are the illustrations to the Psalms placed in the margins of the text, there are buildings that become participants in “a dialogue” with figures standing in front of them (King David, Joasaph and others). In some instances, the cupola buildings of the Byzantine or Russian type were depicted, in the others — strongholds with rectangular outlines, with small towers, and most often with peaked towers and ciboria. Those silhouettes remind us of Gothic constructions, especially the ones in West-European Gothic manuscripts.We have a good reason to propose that the ancient prototype of the Psalter of Simon was a Russian manuscript of the 11th century with miniatures reproducing Byzantine models of the Macedonian period where the idea of the Christianization of peoples (pagans) was proclaimed. The structure of the ‘dialogue’compositions in the marginal illustrations of the Psalter of Simon, where one of the participants of the dialogue is a church building, may hark back to a hypothetical ancient prototype. Nevertheless, the Gothic appearanceof the buildings depicted in the Psalter is a contribution of cultural contacts between Novgorod and the West, which were especially intensive since the second quarter of the 13th century.

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.
