Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: October 6, 1459 (Geographicus Rare Antique Maps biographical dictionary of cartographers) or October 15, 1459 (BnF authorities).
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.
