Interesting life, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. - How do you feel about an infobox? Even if sources say "Dr. Abbot", Wikipedia doesn't normally. In "Before becoming an historian he graduated from several prominent Universities.", I could do without the first clause. Just suggestions. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:40, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
