Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter examines some of the sources of the Jesus information available in 1400. We begin with the Qur'an, to explain both its special nature and its importance for the Jesus cult. Turning beyond canon, we then consider four unusual kinds of Jesus-related written documents: charters that spoke in legal language, gospel harmonies that blended the four canonical Gospels into a single narrative, a passage from Mirkhvand's paracanonical expansion of the Qur'an, and the Toledot Jesu, a hostile retelling of the Jesus life from a Jewish perspective. These elaborations and elisions of the canonical material reveal the priorities and values of the societies that first created and then repeated them. They also employ a range of approaches, from the poetic and deep-ken recognition that those who choose not to see were literally blind, to the fifteenth-century discovery or manufacture of a first-century Jewish apologetic speaking directly to an imagined audience that thought with the plain ken.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
