The essays, each of which comes with its own bibliography, are arranged under the two headings featured in the main title of the volume. I.

The essays are preceded by a dedication to B.'s husband and the couple's cats (Für meinen Mann und unsere Katzen) and a Preface with remarks by B. on her project in the volume. They are followed by three overarching indexes: "Sources," "Ancient Names," and "Subjects." For an abstract of the one previously unpublished essay, see #931.—C.T.B. Google Scholar 1681.

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.
