Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 1612 (BnF authorities; Biodiversity Heritage Library; LIBRIS; Early Modern Letters Online; opac.vatlib.it; NUKAT; Bibliography of the History of the Czech Lands) or November 7, 1614 (No external source identified).
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.
