How do we know this?

Hoya Library separates a source from the claims made from it. Citation details identify the publication; linked findings and treatments show how it is being used; archive notes state what has actually been checked. Corrections and stronger evidence can therefore be added without hiding earlier interpretations.

If you have a clearer scan, a missing page, or a correction to this citation, please share the source details and page reference with Hoya Library.
