The surviving entries do not supply a resolved annual sequence. Their original dates, places and source details remain in the complete account.

The dated sequence is unresolved. Birth and first-work landmarks retain their recorded places without assigning them a year or a travel order.

How to read this map

Connections join located entries in chronological stages; other recorded places stay in the text. Dashed connections pass intervening stages without a map position. They do not document a travel route or continuous service.

    7 entries without a resolved year

    These entries remain outside the dated sequence. Their position in the life cannot be established from the recorded year field.

    Dates in this sequence are explicitly recorded in the Gregorian calendar. Stated ages are labelled; other ages are calculated only within the same recorded calendar. Missing amounts remain unrecorded; zero remains zero.
