  1. For each period, the four most extensive communities (in total 16, from A to P) are listed, with sum \(\sum K\) of Katz centrality of all nodes contained in it given in parenthesis. For each community A-P, the seven highest ranking landmarks are given, with % indicating its contribution or relative Katz centrality within the community
  2. The colligatory concepts of history are shown in boldface and persons in italics
