Not a duplicate.  That is a shorthand for "x1 is a history of x2 according
to person x3" ORed with "x1 is a history of x2 from viewpoint x3".
The slash tells the tale, although the boundary isn't too clear.  Generally,
viewpoint is the more generic form; however, a person can be considered
(by a kind of sumti-raising) to stand for his/her viewpoint.
