Scriptome findings

Current Scriptome findings

Current public readings from the cartogram and region ledgers, with the uncertainty label each cell carries.

Counts are not production; catalogues are not completeness; estimates are inferences. What survives is a minority sample of what was made, and how small a minority is itself the thing being estimated.

Public Reading Counts

Counts are by public map cell in the saved cartogram payload. Each estimated cell carries an interval; census-only and terra cells are not production estimates. This table counts per-period cells only, so a region's "terra" row can read 0 here even while whole regions are hatched as terra incognita on the map below — see the region-level row.

Source Reader label Public cells
integrated_promoted cell-specific estimate 209
pooled_group_prior group-inherited estimate — not cell-specific. 36
triangulated triangulated (provisional) 33
census_only floor, not a production estimate 215
terra uncharted 0

Region-level terra incognita: 8. These are whole regions with no calibrated cell at any period (drawn hatched on the map); they are a separate count from the per-period "terra" row above, which only counts cells within regions that otherwise have at least one calibrated period.

  • Balkan Peninsula (byzantine_greek): Byzantine & Greek has a real physical-manuscript census of 41,346 records (39,842 from Pinakes; the rest from vHMML/Bodleian holdings tagged to this tradition), but none of them carry a mapped production region -- not here, and not anywhere else on this map. Holding repository is not production origin, and no region is invented to place them on this specific tile (see the "Byzantine & Greek" summary tile and the methods page for the full census).
  • Caucasus (byzantine_greek): Byzantine & Greek has a real physical-manuscript census of 41,346 records (39,842 from Pinakes; the rest from vHMML/Bodleian holdings tagged to this tradition), but none of them carry a mapped production region -- not here, and not anywhere else on this map. Holding repository is not production origin, and no region is invented to place them on this specific tile (see the "Byzantine & Greek" summary tile and the methods page for the full census).
  • China (chinese): East Asian manuscript traditions are named but uncalibrated here; area would be false comparability.
  • Eastern Europe (byzantine_greek): Byzantine & Greek has a real physical-manuscript census of 41,346 records (39,842 from Pinakes; the rest from vHMML/Bodleian holdings tagged to this tradition), but none of them carry a mapped production region -- not here, and not anywhere else on this map.

Unit firewall

Physical manuscript production is the only unit promoted into the public production layer. East Asian juan/title and work-title rows are census or bibliography metadata. They are not codices, not physical production estimates, and never enter the Latin West or Buringh calculations.

What would change the numbers

  • New open catalogue records with clear region, period, tradition, and physical-manuscript unit.
  • Tradition-specific survival anchors strong enough to pass the public gate.
  • Cells moving from group-inherited to cell-specific evidence without narrowing below the precision floor.
  • Resolved access lanes for currently gated catalogues, imported as metadata with licences respected.

Work/title survival, graphospheric artefacts, and East Asian juan/title bibliographic rows can improve context, but they do not become physical production without an explicit, authorized bridge.
