APPENDIX 2: KNOWN MANUSCRIPTS OF THE VOX CLAMANTIS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
(Bracketed letters indicate sigils assigned to each MS by G.C. Macaulay.) Twelve manuscripts of the Vox Clamantis are currently known. These are: 1. Dublin, Trinity College, MS D.4.6 (214). First quarter of the fifteenth century. [T] Contains Quia unusquisque . One of two witnesses of (apparently) the earliest form of the poem, Hatfield House being the other (see below). A poor copy with significant scribal errors. 2. Glasgow, University Library, Hunterian MS 59 (T.2.17). Ca. 1400. [G] Contains Cronica Tripertita , Quia unusquisque , Carmen super multiplici viciorum pestilencia , De lucis scrutinio , Est amor , O deus immense , Ecce patet tensus , Rex celi deus (preceded by “Nota Epistolam quam Johannes Gower dum adhuc vixit in laudem Serenissimi principis sui Henrici quarti statim post coronacionem suam ad modum orationis forma subsequente deuote composuit. R [similar small initial] Ex celi deus et dominus qui tempora solus”), O recolende , H. aquile pullus , Quicquid homo scribat [ In fine ], Unanimes esse , Henrici Regis annus fuit , Presul ouile regis , Cultor in ecclesia , Dicunt scripture , Traitié pour ensampler les amantz marietz ; Eneidos bucolis (probably by Gower), full-page archer image with verses Ad mundum mitto (fol. 6v), full page image of a draped bier, two angels above holding shield bearing Gower arms, verses Ora [ ntibus ] pro anima [ Armigeri scutum ] (fol. 129v), blot (possibly erased) of a third, fullpage image now missing and too blurred to identify (fol. 131v).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
