Received mother of Jesus in the gospel file (Q345; chronology disputed). Negative-first: no likeness, no autograph, Mark family tension, later dogma not her hand. Offsets: Magnificat, Cana speech, Acts 1 presence. Madonna Advocata is a later icon, not a lifetime portrait.
German sociologist and political economist (1864–1920) whose 1904/05 Protestant Ethic, 1917–19 vocation lectures, and unfinished Economy and Society manuscripts sit beside 1895 nationalist inaugural, 1914 war volunteer service, and 1918–19 Versailles advising. The 1922 WuG book is not a 1914 autograph.
Frombork canon and astronomer (Q619; 1473–1543). Negative-first: benefice and uncle-patronage, withheld books, Osiander's unsigned preface, Dantiscus and Anna Schilling, 1520 war office. Offsets: Commentariolus, currency advice, De revolutionibus 1543. Later portrait type; not Galileo's trial.
Serbian-American inventor-engineer (1856–1943) whose 1888 polyphase patents and Westinghouse licence sit behind Niagara’s AC plant. The live record is mixed: the 1893 Chicago lighting, the 1898 radio-controlled boat, and later museum memory sit beside Wardenclyffe’s collapse, Colorado overclaims, Marconi’s market win, and unpaid hotel bills.
Prussian minister-president from 1862 and first chancellor of the German Empire. Negative-first: three cabinet wars, Alsace-Lorraine, Kulturkampf exceptional law, the Anti-Socialist Law, 1885 expulsions, Germanization, and 1884 colonial protection are dated instruments. Offsets — 1867/1871 constitutions, Berlin 1878, Dual Alliance, and sickness, accident, and old-age insurance — are bounded and sit beside coercion, not instead of it. Reichstag, Wilhelm I, Moltke, and Roon share files.
Spanish painter-sculptor (1881–1973, Q5593): 1907 Demoiselles, 1912 collage, 1937 Guernica as a Republic anti-bombing instrument, 1944 PCF, 1953 Stalin portrait controversy, 1961 marriage, 1973 death, later MoMA/Reina Sofía/Musée Picasso access. Occupied-Paris remaining is stored as ambiguity. Partners appear only as dated legal or public acts.
