Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q123956238. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
