Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This chapter discusses the authorship, text, transmission, method, sources, and emphases of the commentaries Pelagius wrote on the Pauline letters (Romans to Philemon) between 405/406 and 410 ce. It reviews the scholarship on problems posed by the two principal manuscripts of the commentaries, which diverge in their witness to the text of the Pauline letters and the text of Pelagius’ comments. It describes the techniques Pelagius used to explain the meaning and implications of Paul’s text, elucidating it by means of paraphrase, explanation, argument, and reference to Scripture. Lastly, the chapter illustrates how Pelagius interacts with the biblical text on several key Pauline themes: law and gospel, grace and merits, ‘flesh’ and ‘spirit’, and dying to sin and living in the Spirit.

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.
