Trithemius 4B Editions
Provisional machine-produced English reading texts for 27 works, produced from a corpus-trained Qwen3-VL-4B “Trithemius” LoRA OCR witness and GPT-5.5 dual-context translation. Automated model audits are retained as provenance and triage evidence; no text is presented as human-verified. The earlier machine translations remain available as independent comparison editions.
