The linked authority identifier is Q17182271. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1987 and 1341.

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