‘Pro Fide et Patria’, but for Europe: <i>Iris Hibernia</i> and a Swiss-led vision for European Ireland
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article argues that the journal Irisleabhar Hibernia, later renamed as Iris Hibernia, offered a vision of Irish Europeanism that was wholly different from contemporary, EU-led understandings. The journal was published between 1937 and 1965 from the Université de Fribourg in Switzerland, an institution that makes for an enlightening comparison with the Irish post-secondary sector of the same period, especially St Patrick’s College, Maynooth. Throughout its existence, the journal was published by the Hibernia society, which was made up of Irish seminary students at Fribourg. But its interests were broadly interdisciplinary, becoming gradually more so from the 1950s into the 1960s. The journal’s perspective could be generally understood as conservative, communitarian and culture-led. This perspective is not necessarily a matter of simple left-right alignment, however, and the article synthesises the journal’s legacy by elucidating the difference between two Francophone Swiss writers who were important to group behind the journal: Denis de Rougemont and Gonzague de Reynold.

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.
