Abstract
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.

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
