Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: December 17, 1630 (Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Proleksis Encyclopedia) or October 14, 1630 (Pedagogues and Psychologists of the World).
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.
