Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

abstract: From the information contained in 'Ware's Index', we know that the famous Roscommon codex, Leabhar Ua Maine (RIA MS D ii 1 [1225]), once contained a copy of Acallam na senórach 'The colloquy of the ancients', the premier medieval fíanaigecht tale. This is particularly significant as it seems probable that the Acallam was composed in the Augustinian house of canons in Roscommon town (not far from where Leabhar Ua Maine was written) and also because there is no surviving manuscript containing this extended narrative that pre-dates this vellum. Furthermore, a number of incidents in Acallam na senórach have an added significance in an Uí Maine context which might be important in better understanding some of the episodes detailed within the text.

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.
