Why this record matters

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 31, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7397238. VIAF identifies the subject as 134106142. The Library of Congress control number is no2010028341.
