La traduction wallonne de la Consolatio philosophiae de Boece (le Boece en rime, 3 qu. XIV siecle, de Jehan de Thys): Analyses lexicologiques, scriptologiques et philologiques
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This unedited medieval French verse translation of the Latin philosophical text, the Consolatio philosophiae, exists in two manuscripts, only one of which is complete. It takes its place amongst some 14 different French translations of the same Latin text. Although this translation has been located in a general way as from the North of France, this article establishes the text as from the Walloon region, and more precisely from the region of Liege. This location has been established on the basis of items of regional lexicology (some 70 regional words are examined in detail), of certain unique rhymes and certain conservative features of the morphology (verb and noun forms). This location has allowed the writer to attribute an author to this text, a text regarded until now as anonymous. The name of the author would be Jehan de Thys; the writer was able to identify Thys as a village in the region of Liege. Although the two manuscripts date from later in the 14th century, the date of the original has remained problematic. On the basis of dating the first appearances of some 55 lexical items, quite recently created in French by contemporary translators, and yet used also by this translator, the author poses the third quarter of the 14th century as the most probable date of the original, written therefore just a few years before the first manuscript, which dates from 1383. Over and above these, the writer has identified no fewer than 17 words that appear in this text for the first time in the French language.

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.
