Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 1535 (MAK; Web umenia; Geographicus Rare Antique Maps biographical dictionary of cartographers; The Stuttgart Database of Scientific Illustrators 1450–1950; National Library of Portugal; Alvin; BnF authorities; Isidore; opac.vatlib.it) or in 1538 (museabrugge.be).
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.
