A large share of the Islamic tradition's dated census is not fine-grained: 71.4% of its dated records (105,226 of 147,288) carry the exact same generic vHMML placeholder date range, 1700-1950, not a real per-item date -- driven almost entirely by HMML's West African/Mali-Timbuktu digitization program (119,322 records, most of the Islamic tradition by count). A century-level reading of the Islamic rows on this page is, for most of that mass, not actually informative about century.

Parameter provenance
- extant: ExtantCount rows, one identity per dedup cluster.
- correction_factor: Borrowed unchanged from Buringh Latin West benchmark spec; tradition-specific correction recalibration is future judged work. For periods beyond the Latin West benchmark, correction_factor carries forward the borrowed c15 placeholder value until judged tradition-specific recalibration lands.
- scaling_factor: Borrowed unchanged from Buringh Latin West benchmark spec; tradition-specific scaling recalibration is future judged work. For periods beyond the Latin West benchmark, scaling_factor carries forward the borrowed c15 placeholder value until judged tradition-specific recalibration lands.
- survival: Borrowed Latin West base survival with authored tradition loss events; pending tradition-specific recalibration. For periods beyond the Latin West benchmark, survival carries forward the borrowed c15 placeholder value until judged tradition-specific recalibration lands.

Counterevidence and limits
Grounded catalogue run for scriptome-lang-20260614. Language-attributed extant counts: region inferred from language, not recorded origin. Survival/correction/scaling parameters are inherited from the Buringh Latin West benchmark until region-specific recalibration is judged separately.
What would change these numbers
- Better catalogue coverage.
- Region-specific survival calibration.
- Dating refinements.
Records behind these numbers
Every physical-manuscript record mapped to this region, grouped by the source catalogue it came from, with that source's own licence and a few sample shelfmarks.
