Sources disagree: in 1687 (LIBRIS; CERL Thesaurus; The Stuttgart Database of Scientific Illustrators 1450–1950; NUKAT; opac.vatlib.it; Biodiversity Heritage Library; Oxford Dictionary of National Biography; Great Norwegian Encyclopedia; Sapere Encyclopedia) or December 12, 1684 (No external source identified) or December 22, 1684 (BnF authorities; 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.
