Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The present article examines the changes professional associations (‘craft guilds’) and municipal institutions of Montpellier, Languedoc, underwent from c. 1350 into the first decades of the sixteenth century. The first section reconsiders what constituted a ‘guild’ in the Montpellier context, emphasising their integral role in the city’s civic life instead of their economic functions. Questioning the nature of craft guilds allows for an analysis of workers’ culture and reveals how workers perceived their roles in the urban community. It suggests that the accepted conclusions of prior research should be reviewed in light of the local modes of municipal governance. The second and third sections draw on a variety of municipal records to chart the evolution of Montpellier’s guilds from 1350 to the early sixteenth century, analysing the process of restructuring and rationalisation of their mode of governance that paralleled that of the municipal government.

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.
