David F GliddenandClaude Opus 4.8 3f9a89b00c chore(memory): Basic Memory trial begins — sync normalization baseline (283 files)
Basic Memory v0.21.6 first sync over the live memory dir (steward-authorized
live-dir trial, Option A 2026-06-06): adds permalink: to frontmatter, refolds
long YAML description lines, strips final newlines. Bodies untouched —
verified via full diff classification. From this commit forward, any diff in
claude/memory shows only what Basic Memory or the session writes.

Trial design: MemPalace untouched as incumbent; git status check on this dir
at every wrap; end-of-day evaluation (recall quality, sync robustness,
rebuild-from-files, malformed-file behavior).

Prefer Latin "Manutius" over Italian "Manuzio" Steward prefers the Latin spelling "Manutius" when referring to Aldus / Aldo Manutius (Venetian printer, refined the comma c. 1490). Norris uses the Italian "Manuzio"; steward corrected 2026-04-23. feedback 0e858bcf-ef4e-46c6-9eca-abd19836786a claude-memory/feedback-manutius-latin-spelling

Manutius (not Manuzio)

Rule

When referring to the Venetian Renaissance printer Aldus / Aldo Manutius (c. 1449–1515), use the Latin spelling: Manutius.

Norris's Between You & Me uses "Manuzio" (Italian). Steward prefers the Latin form. When quoting Norris directly, leave her spelling intact; when writing in our own voice, use Manutius.

Why

Steward stated the preference directly (2026-04-23 evening): "in spite of Manutius (prefer the latin spelling of his name)". No further reason given, but consistent with his humanist-latinate register and with Manutius's own usage — his firm was the Aldine Press, he signed prefaces Aldus Manutius Romanus. The Latin is the name the man actually published under.

How to apply

  • In ARC context (style-guide, typology spec, AldineXXI discussions): Manutius.
  • When citing Norris's text: leave "Manuzio" in the quotation; switch to Manutius in our own commentary.
  • Applies to related forms: Aldus (not Aldo) unless quoting, Aldine Press (not a change; already Latin-derived).
