Initial commit: Ross 1988 re-typeset edition

Browse Source 
A searchable, re-typeset edition of Fiona Ross, "The Evolution of the
Printed Bengali Character from 1778 to 1978" (Ph.D., SOAS, 1988),
transcribed from the 431-leaf ProQuest scan. All 431 pages done; 178
plates and 410 inline type specimens cut from the scan; 51 errata.

Tracked: the transcription (src/pages), the preamble and its typographic
decisions, the cut images (plates/ — not reliably regenerable, the crop
specs for the inline cuts were never scripted), tools, and the four
working documents.

Not tracked: the built PDF, which `make` remakes from src/ and plates/;
the ProQuest scan under source/, which is third-party and needed only by
`make prep` and `make plate`; scans/ and work/, both regenerable.

Process the next batch of pages of the Ross thesis conversion.
1. Read CLAUDE.md, CONTINUATION.md and the tail of manifest.tsv to find the next PDF page range (default: the range named in CONTINUATION.md "Next", ~12 pages). If $ARGUMENTS gives "A B", use that range.
2. Run `make prep A=<A> B=<B>`.
3. For every page in the range: view `scans/hi-NNN.jpg`, classify, transcribe or crop per the procedure in CLAUDE.md. Never rely on OCR or the PDF text layer without checking the image. Mark doubtful readings with `\unsure{}` and record them in QUESTIONS.md.
4. Update manifest.tsv, run `make check` (fix until it passes), run `make build`, render and inspect two output pages.
5. Update CONTINUATION.md with the new state and the next range. Report: pages done, plates cropped, questions added, anything odd in the source.
