Why this record matters

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 Jun 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1627840. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1965, 1987, 1990 and 1991.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence.

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