Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: March 4, 1769 (Jara'id: A Chronology of Arabic Periodicals; SNAC; Croatian Encyclopedia) or in 1769 (Czech National Authority Database) or in 1770 (al-Aʻlām (Dār al-ʻIlm, 2002)).

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.
