: <i>The Domestic Herbal: Plants for the Home in the Seventeenth Century</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Willes has authored many books, including several on gardens and country estates; these are now joined by this elegant volume on creamy stock, illustrated on every other page. Each of its half-dozen chapters focuses on a different use of plants in early modern homes: as food and drink, in healthcare and cosmetics, for clothing and fragrance. After a brief overview of the changing place of plants and gardens in the period, Willes presents subsequent chapters as steps on a house tour, including some rooms emergent in early modernity, like a separate kitchen, as well as older, now unfamiliar settings, like stillrooms, brewhouses, and long galleries. The book necessarily ranges out of doors as well, to sites of botanical cultivation and commerce, from grocery and apothecary shops to London coffee houses and New World plantations-which reminds us that the domestic should never be imagined as merely private, when the home was and remains the hub of so much economic, intellectual, and social activity.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
