Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: March 31, 1675 (Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Find a Grave; Integrated Authority File; Croatian Encyclopedia; Proleksis Encyclopedia; RKDartists; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Benedict XIV, Pope; Internet Speculative Fiction Database) or March 21, 1675 (BeWeB).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
