Der deutsche Jesuit Franz Ehrle als Präfekt der vatikanischen Bibliothek
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Franz Ehrle gilt als bemerkenswerter Gelehrter und exzellenter Bibliothekar. Sein bedeutendstes Werk war eine Untersuchung der päpstlichen Bibliothek im 14. Jahrhundert und ihrer Inventare, die „Historia bibliothecae Romanorum Pontificum tum Bonifatianae tum Avenionensis“. Leo XIII. beauftragte Ehrle, der kurz zuvor zum Mitglied des Verwaltungsrates ( „Consiglio direttivo“) der Vatikanischen Bibliothek ernannt worden war, die Bücher aus dem Appartamento Borgia in den neuen Saal ( „Sala Leonina“), gemäß der Vorstellung des Jesuiten als Konsultationsbibliothek konzipiert, zu bringen. Darin befanden sich die von verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Instituten überlassenen Bücher. Im Jahre 1891 riet Ehrle zum Erwerb der Biblioteca Borghese, das heißt eines Teils mittelalterlicher Handschriften aus Avignon, und es gelang ihm dann 1902, schwierige Verhandlungen mit der Familie Barberini zum Abschluß zu bringen, um deren bedeutende Bibliothek zu erwerben. Ehrle trieb die Katalogisierung der Handschriften in der Vatikanischen Bibliothek voran und sah strenge Regeln für deren genaue wissenschaftliche Beschreibung vor. Im Hinblick auf die Konservierung und den Schutz der alten Handschriften lud er 1898 Bibliothekare und Experten nach Sankt Gallen ein, um Probleme der Restaurierung bedrohter Zeugnisse auf Pergament und Papier zu diskutieren. Nach dem Brand des Jahres 1903 wurde die letzte Etage der Vatikanischen Bibliothek in Holz durch Steingewölbe ersetzt. Ein neuer Handschriftensaal wurde während des Pontifikats Pius‘ X. gebaut. Ehrle zog sich kurz vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg zurück; während der Kriegsjahre wandte er sich seinen scholastischen Forschungen in München zu. Im April 1929 wurde er zum Kardinalbibliothekar ernannt. Während seiner letzten Lebensjahre widmete er sich eigenen Forschungen. Franz Ehrle was a famous scholar but also an excellent librarian. His most considerable work, published in 1890, was the Historia bibliothecae Romanorum Pontificum tum Bonifatianae tum Avenionensis, a study of the papal book collection and its indices. Leo XIII entrusted Ehrle, who had been nominated member of the administration of the library (Consiglio direttivo), with the transport of the printed books from the Appartamento Borgia to the newly constructed reading room (Sala Leonina) which had been arranged, according to Ehrle’s project, as a consulting library with books donated by various academic institutes and freely accessible to the readers. In 1891 Ehrle suggested the acquisition of the Borghese library, a part of the papal library at Avignon, and in 1902, owing to his patient negotiations, the famous collection of the Barberini family arrived in the Vatican. He also pushed ahead the cataloguing of manuscripts and worked out strict rules for an accurate scientific description. For the conservation and protection of old manuscripts he invited noted librarians and scholars to St. Gallen in 1898 to discuss the problems of the restoration of the damaged parchment and paper. Besides the promulgation of some basic rules, the participants of the conference asked some European governments for a financial subsidy to erect a laboratory of book-restoration in the Vatican Library. Another protective measure for books was the black and white photography and the collotype of precious manuscripts. After the fire in the Vatican library in 1903 he replaced the wooden floor over the reading room with the construction of a solid vault. Under Pius X a new reading room for manuscripts was constructed. He retired shortly before the First World War and during the war he continued his scholarly research in Munich. In April 1929 he was nominated Cardinal-librarian. In his last years he also worked on his personal studies.

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.
