Delivering the News from Abroad: French-Language Gazettes Published in the Dutch Republic During the Second Half of the 17th Century
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The article presents the emergence of the three major French-language gazettes published in the Dutch Republic during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the Gazette d’Amsterdam, Gazette de Leyde, and the Gazette de Rotterdam. All of them had Huguenot publishers, especially after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The gazettes became famous during the two major wars of the King Louis XIV, the War of the Great Alliance, and the War of the Spanish Succession. They were circulated in large numbers not only among the Huguenot diaspora but also in France. At that time, France had only one gazette, the constitutional Gazette de Paris. The three Huguenot gazettes presented updated reports from every major city or military camp. Their reports and their attitude towards France, however, varied. This article enlightens the attitude of each Huguenot gazette towards France, presenting reports of the last two years of the War of the Great Alliance.

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.
