Abstract
Monastic Psalter. Single folio on vellum. France, ca. 1220: approx. 144 x 127 mm (written area approx. 130 x 80 mm). Single column, 19 lines. Sotheby’s dated this manuscript to the third quarter of the thirteenth century (see below), but the decoration belongs to an earlier generation, and it is written above top line, making it pre-1240. Decoration: a two-line initial in gold—now worn right down to the brightly colored gesso—on red and blue ground infilled with white penwork decoration. Versal initials alternate in gold and blue. Foliated “86” in modern pencil. Contents: Psalm 138. Condition and Provenance: this book seems to have been in a fire at some point, for scorched corners and edges of the slightly browned leaves have flaked away, leaving irregularly shaped folios. Some of these folios have been inscribed with signatures of the sixteenth-century owner François de Marcambie, according to Sothey’s possibly a descendant of Francois de la Haye, seigneur de Marcambie (Nôtre Dame de Venilly, Basse-Normandie: the charming château still stands). This François offered a reward of wine should the book, if lost, be returned to him (126r). The name of a second owner, B. Goussil, is also recorded. The volume came into the possession of Count Eric von Rosen (1879-1948) of Rockelstad Castle, Sweden (now a conference center), and was sold in 1969 and 1980, eventually acquired by Canadian banker Joseph Pope, owner of the Bergendal Collection. Purchased by a German dealer (Sotheby’s 5 July 2011 lot 55), it was subsequently cut up and dispersed.

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.
