Abstract
Thousands of medieval manuscripts have survived to the present day only as literal fragments of their former selves: cut up for binding scrap in the early modern period, initials and miniatures trimmed for framing by collectors and dealers in the Victorian era, and entire codices cut up leaf by leaf by modern biblioclasts. There are at least thirty-thousand fragments in North American collections and exponentially more in Europe and elsewhere. The potential for discovery, pedagogy, scholarship, and public engagement is enormous, and the work has only barely begun. Recent developments in data modeling and image service are making it possible for scholars to digitally reconstruct these broken books, enabling important outcomes for research and teaching. The essays in this volume will engage with medieval manuscript fragments and fragmentology in different ways. This introductory essay surveys the history of fragmenting, fragments, and fragmentology.

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
