Reformation (REF) — reception corpus, page-grain OCR

Reformation-era reception corpus (Calvin, Luther, Melanchthon, Bellarmine, Erasmus, Bucer, Bullinger; c. 1517-1564 CE and their early printed/critical editions). Tesseract v4 page-grain OCR at 200 DPI, plus derived apparatus, lemmata, content-type classification, clean-text projections, and per-author repair sidecars (dehyphenation, footnote-apparatus repair, long-s normalization). All REF interconnects run temporal_direction=reverse (reception of Scripture, not influence on it).

Per-author tables

Each of the 7 authors carries the same 8-config pattern: base registry, OCR, clean-text projection, content-type classification, lemmata, repair sidecar, repair-sidecar footnotes, repair-sidecar long-s normalization. Calvin additionally carries two single-file supplement configs frozen from an earlier build (calvin_apparatus_supplement, calvin_nav_supplement).

Calvin supplements: calvin_apparatus_supplement = 10,642 rows; calvin_nav_supplement = 855 rows.

Row counts above are the ontology/manifest/assets.yaml SOT pins (hf.lock-consistent). Five configs were spot-verified this leg by downloading each config's parquet via hf download (narrow --include pull, never anonymous/httpfs) into the session scratchpad and counting rows with local duckdb, then deleting the download: ref_works (1,589), bucer_content_type (473), bullinger_repair_sidecar_footnotes (22), calvin_nav_supplement (855), ref_controversy_edges (727) — all matched the pinned count exactly. No token touched a URL; nothing was printed.

feats_grammar_bridge (T12b-REF-BUILD, 2026-09-12): token-grain Stanza FEATS → grammar-construction bridge for the REF rail, 158 volumes / all 7 REF authors, 40,227,228 rows, 24 columns (same schema as unified-grammar/patristics-scholastics feats_grammar_bridge). Partial build: 91 worklist volumes and the German-language increment (featslemma-refde-01..04, __deu__ page-range splits of CR_22/CR_23/CR_26/WA_34_ii) remain outstanding for a follow-up increment; CR_22/CR_23/CR_26 carry the corrected Latin page-range splits only. coverage_summary.json beside the parquet lists per-volume token sums (row count exact-matches their total). k=computed; facts only, no source prose. Receipt: W53_parity/lexicon/t12b_ref/T12B_REF_BUILD_RECEIPT_v1.md.

Method

Tesseract v4 page-grain OCR at 200 DPI. Per-author repair sidecars apply dehyphenation and a footnote-apparatus pass; repair_sidecar_long_s normalizes historical long-s (ſ) forms. clean_text is a per-volume clean-text projection of the corresponding _ocr config — the source text in _ocr is never overwritten (granularity preserved).

License

Public domain (k=public-domain) across the whole repo:

  • Calvin and Melanchthon: Corpus Reformatorum, 19th-century edition.
  • Luther: public-domain-curated archive.org / HathiTrust scans (workspace_pd_safe flag at acquisition).
  • Bellarmine, Erasmus, Bucer, Bullinger: pre-1929 public-domain imprints/critical editions.

Corrected 2026-07-31: the Weimarer Ausgabe (WA) volumes 61-72 register apparatus (Böhlau 1983-1990 edition, in copyright) is not in this repo — it was relocated to the private NuBerea/quarantine-works (wa_registers config). The Luther volumes retained here are the PD text only.

Two supplement configs (calvin_apparatus_supplement, ref_residual_closure) carry a frozen-vintage build exception (their source JSONL was deleted in a later reclaim wave; the published parquet is the frozen artifact of record) — this affects rebuildability, not licensing; both remain k=public-domain.

Known card gap (disclosed, not silently carried forward)

The live repo carries 75 data/<config> directories; the prior revision of this card (stub, pre-T2-REF) declared only ~18 config groups. The T2-REF Step 1 revision (2026-09-11) declared 73 live configs, verified against hf datasets info NuBerea/reformation (856 siblings, 73 distinct data/ top-level directories at that time) — the previously-undeclared set included all 21 T8b-REF per-author content_type/lemmata/repair_sidecar configs, the 7 REF-R1 <author>_repair_sidecar_long_s clean-text configs, the 7 <author>_clean_text configs, and ref_citations_nonscripture_tiered.

T2-REF Step 2 refresh (2026-09-12): re-verified against the live repo after PUBLISH-W53-WAVE2 (FABLE_GATE_PUBLISH-W53-WAVE2.json, ACCEPT) — hf datasets info NuBerea/reformation --format json now shows 858 siblings, 75 distinct data/ top-level directories (sha 3720d7c2d0dc645981f63d060ed10b0ab55c869d, private:true, gated:false, pre-flip). The 2 newly-live configs added this revision: ref_index_kind (211,461 rows, published 1592563a) and tll_bridge_ref (3,484,251 rows, published 1907c31c) — both confirmed present in data/ and matching the assets.yaml SOT row-count pins exactly. The 7 <author>_clean_text configs were republished (second-pass) in the same wave with unchanged row counts (verified against assets.yaml, no table update needed for those rows). No SPEC.md or raw parquet is referenced or linked from this card, per the gated regime.

Planned (not yet published)

zwingli_clean_text (REF-ZWINGLI-PROJECTION, 2026-09-12): Zwingli has no OCR volume in the estate, so it does not carry the 8-config OCR pattern of the other 7 authors — only ref_works/ref_segments/ref_apparatus (0-row placeholder) via the lane-2 UZH born-digital build. zwingli_clean_text is a segment-grain clean-text projection over the live ref_segments zwingli slice (8,182 rows), stripping only the UZH page template's own navigation chrome (prev/index/next header, paginated jump-to-page footer) — never the edition's own citations or letter datelines. k=public-domain (Corpus Reformatorum 88-96, 1905-1968 imprints, PD by age; UZH site copyright notice is chrome, not a claim over the edition text — owner ruling 2026-09-12). Staged locally (huggingface/candidates/build/reformation/data/zwingli_clean_text/zwingli.parquet, 8,182 rows); not yet in configs: above or on HF — added to both on publish. See ~/Documents/OCR/ecrp_v1/W53_parity/reformers/ZWINGLI_PROJECTION_RECEIPT_v1.md.
