Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper investigates Hrotsvit of Gandersheim’s knowledge of Greek. It proceeds from three questions. First, what resources for learning Greek were available in tenth‐century Germany? Second, were there any figures in her ambit from whom she could have learned? (I suggest two: sisters Hadwig of Swabia and Gerberga II of Gandersheim.) And third, what evidence exists in Hrotsvit’s works that could indicate Greek competency? Taking her use of dynamis and energia as a test case, I conclude, based on the preponderance of the evidence, fundamental competence in Greek for Hrotsvit should be considered highly likely.

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.

Not 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.
