Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: August 9, 1892 (Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; librarianshipstudies.com; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Babelio; Croatian Encyclopedia) or August 12, 1892 (IdRef; SNAC; 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.
