Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: August 23, 1769 (BnF authorities; Léonore database; KNAW Past Members; Integrated Authority File; La France savante; SNAC; www.academie-medecine.fr; www.accademiadellescienze.it) or August 24, 1769 (Find a Grave).
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.
