Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: in 1667 (Library of Congress Authorities; BnF authorities) or in 1668 (Biografisch Portaal) or in 1667 (Artists of the World Online).

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.
