Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: December 29, 1796 (BnF authorities; Poggendorff, Johann Christian (ADB)) or December 22, 1796 (Integrated Authority File).
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.
