Abstract
Excellently printed and reasonably priced given the size of the volumes, this census of Italian legal imprints compiled by a Scot living and working at the Max Planck Institut in Frankfurt transcends national boundaries. Long in the making, with extensive visits to libraries in Italy, Scotland, and other interesting places, it lists 7,730 items, divided into a main alphabetical sequence (nos. 1–5872), the sets of the Corpus iuris civilis and the Corpus iuris canonici (nos. 5873–5963), the statutes and legislation of cities or regions (nos. 5964–6284), those relating to trade and other associations (nos. 6285–6663), those relating to religious orders (nos. 6664–6839), and those produced by councils and synods (nos. 6840–7730). It is therefore an impressive and very necessary instrument for the reference shelves of any library with an interest in the history of legal publishing. The question does arise about what should be defined as ‘jurisprudence’. For instance I wonder whether the Index librorum prohibitorum, i.e. lists of banned books, really belongs herein (nos. 6852, 6854, etc.). In this case the author should not be the Council of Trent, but the Papacy, or more specifically after 1571, Congregation of the Index, while the secondary references need embellishment with a mention of the Sherbrooke edition coordinated by Jesus Martinez de Bujanda (1985–2002).

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
