Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: September 25, 1599 (BnF authorities; National Library of Israel Names and Subjects Authority File; SIKART; RKDartists; Borromini, Francesco) or September 27, 1599 (Historical Dictionary of Switzerland; 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.
