Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This book examines the nature of miracles in four centuries of records on the canonization of saints held in the Vatican Secret Archives and Library. The history of the canonization process is explained with special reference to the place of miracles within it. Separate chapters focus on the saints and their supplicants, the physicians, and the drama of the cure. A conclusion presents some parallels in the workings of religion and of medicine. The primary sources for this book are the records of testimony on more than 1,400 miracles gathered by clerics working within the official process for recognizing saints. More than 90 percent of these miracles are healings from diseases. The vast majority of the records include the personal accounts of the people healed (miraculé[e]s) and their treating or expert physicians. Presentation of the witnesses and their stories leads to an exploration of medicine and religion as semiotic traditions built around the experience of illness, healing, and death. This work intersects with histories of medicine, of religion, in its official and popular forms, and with the current debate on physical healing through spiritual means. Although the project is rooted in Roman Catholic traditions, it permits more general statements about the behaviors of sick people and the formal responses to suffering from religion, medicine, and, indeed, history.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
