Record note

The violin: its famous makers and their imitators (1884); The violin: its famous makers and their imitators (1909); the violin its famous makers and their imitators (1909); The violin: its famous makers and their imitators (1909) is what this record is built on, nothing more. Entries from 2 books stand under this name, and the software judged them near-certain the same person. Tell us if that is wrong and we will split the record. No claim beyond that naming has been invented here, so not established is the honest state of the record — tell us if you can change it.
