Abstract
This article examines the layout and organization of the Naples manuscript “Vittorio Emanuele III,” MS XIII.B.29 to argue not only that the intended readership of the manuscript was predominantly female but also that it deliberately guides those readers towards the themes of various kinds of healing. The medieval recipes at the beginning connect to the medical sub-themes in the romance and the saint’s life that follow. These tales and the recipes also contain themes of childbirth, marriage, and family, and this is continued with the trials of the illegitimate son of Gawain, Libious Desconious, and the broken families of Sir Isombrase and Grisilde in the following texts. The opening medical recipes, which to modern sensibilities seem generically anomalous in a book containing romances and saint’s lives, in fact “anticipate the kind of female agency which the subsequent narratives exemplify.”

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
