Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: February 26, 1444 (Contemporaries of Erasmus (vol. 1); Catalogus Professorum Academiae Groninganae) or in 1444 (NUKAT; datos.bne.es; Digitale Bibliotheek voor de Nederlandse Letteren; MAK; Czech National Authority Database) or September 6, 1443 (Encyclopedia of Renaissance Philosophy. Living edition).

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.
