The linked authority identifier is Q30590066. VIAF identifies the subject as 74149717480210951120. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2001 and 2008.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
