Why this record matters

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4762507. VIAF identifies the subject as 2245855. The Library of Congress control number is no2007056878. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1970, 1994, 2007 and 2010.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
