Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: February 27, 1867 (Proleksis Encyclopedia; SNAC; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Croatian Encyclopedia; BnF authorities) or February 7, 1867 (Scientific Legacy Database).

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.
