Abstract
The Broxbourne collection in the Bodleian Library is a collection of rare binding specimens presented to the Library in 1978 through the Friends of the National Libraries by John Ehrman, in memory of his father. Broxb. 28.17 is an octavo edition of Josephus’s Antiquitates judaicae, published in Lyon in 1528. It is in an early sixteenth-century calf binding that features blind-stamped panels that seem to have been used in England. The binding contains three waste fragments: two vellum strips form upper and lower endleaf guards, while a single folio from a printed quarto serves as a lower endpaper. The present article concerns the lower endleaf guard, a strip cut from one folio, which contains a fragment of a text written in three columns. The fragment gives a disjointed but reconstructable narrative of a siege of Orange in an Anglo-Norman redaction, copied in the late thirteenth century. It conforms to the poem, Le Siège d’Orange, whose existence has been hypothesised by many scholars in the last century. A transcription of the fragment is accompanied by a commentary, which highlights the relationship between the fragment and other poems from the Guillaume Cycle.

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
