A community-maintained tertiary reference on Allan Kardec, directly examined. Its strength is a precise birth name, precise life dates and a dated, named list of all five codification books; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a Spiritism studies monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.
