Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: December 23, 1790 (histoire-medecine.fr; La France savante; www.accademiadellescienze.it; BnF authorities; Integrated Authority File; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Biographies of the Entomologists of the World; umass.edu; museechampollion-isere.fr; SNAC) or December 22, 1790 (bbc.co.uk).
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.
