The Morpurgos, the descendants of the Maribor Jews
Bibliographic record
Abstract
When Zlata Vokač Medić published her historical fiction novel „Marpurgi“ in 1985, it brought to life the memory of the once successful Jewish community, especially within the local environment – a community which significantly characterized medieval Maribor with its life and work. However, the memory of the Jews and their quarter had never been totally erased from the fabric of the city, since it was preserved both in the name of a street, i.e. ‘Židovska ulica’ (Jewish Street), and in the inscription ‘Mariborska sinagoga’ (Maribor Synagogue), placed on the frontage of the former Jewish pray house. Despite all this, it was rather concealed, forgotten and barely known. The present publication accompanies the travelling exhibition The Morpurgos, the descendants of the Maribor Jews. It provides a general insight into the history of the Jewish community in medieval Maribor and presents the departure of their members from the city at the end of the 15th century. At the same time, it tries to reconstruct the paths of those Maribor Jews and their descendants who later took up the family surnames of either Marpurg(er)/Marburg(er) or Morpurgo in the places where they settled down. The Morpurgo surname was by far the most frequent among those surnames, therefore we devoted a special part of the exhibition to the presentation of individual members of the Morpurgo families (this gave the exhibition its title). Through thorough selection, we tried to indicate the wide range of economic, political, cultural and artistic activity and work with which the Morpurgos significantly contributed to the economic and cultural development of their environments.

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.
