Why this record matters
“Joan Elies Adell i Pitarch” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Joan, Elies and Adell provides the most credible route into that argument.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4893927. VIAF identifies the subject as 27936010. The Library of Congress control number is n98017615. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1968, 1994, 1995 and 1997.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. 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.
