Anthroponymy as an indicator of multiculturalism. Case study: the Latin-Catholic gymnasium in Bistriţa (1729–1779)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper dwells on the first names of Romanian students who attended the Latin-Catholic gymnasium in Bistriţa between the years 1729 and 1779. The onomastic data were collected from the records published by Virgil Şotropa in the newspaper Tribuna (1901, year XXXII, issues 1: 3 sqq.) and reprinted in the journal Arhiva Someşană (1940, issue 48: 47–63). The research does not deal with family names, as these are almost always replaced with the names of the students’ settlement or area of origin: Besenyö, Bistriciensis, Budatelek, Burgoiensis, Crajoviensis, Dobociensis, Kaczkiensis, Kajla, Nagy-Banya, Naszod, Naszodiensis, Radnensis, Somkuta, Tohatiensis, Tordensis, Transilvanus etc. The names analysed attest to the multicultural nature of anthroponymy since the early days of the existence of Confessional Records, Land Registries, Students’ Records etc.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
