Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q140701735. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1956, 1981, 1991 and 1988.
