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 Feb 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q50365819. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1967, 1968, 1971 and 1979.
