Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: September 16, 1584 (Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani; Deutsche Biographie; Czech National Authority Database; Encyclopædia Britannica Online) or October 17, 1588 (BnF authorities; regional database of the Municipal Library of Hradec Kralove; Kaiser und Höfe).
