Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract It has been argued that Shakespeare ‘moulded’ translations of Latin and Greek poetry for inclusion in John Gerard’s Herball, or Generall Historie of Plantes (1597). These extracts do the work of descriptive botany. I employ this claim for Shakespeare’s authorship as a springboard for reviewing the enduring linkage of Shakespeare’s and Gerard’s names. Why do scholars turn to Gerard’s English herbal (and not others) for information about Shakespeare’s literary representations of plants? Why are coffee table and art books about Shakespeare (or Shakespearean) gardens so often illustrated with reproductions of woodcuts excerpted from Gerard’s Herball? What measure and kind of authority does Shakespeare lend to Gerard, and does Shakespeare borrow from Gerard? I suggest we also think these questions through Shakespeare’s representations of plants and the use of these representations as science in modern institutions like Shakespeare Gardens.

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.
