Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: January 20, 1651 (BnF authorities) or in 1650 (opac.vatlib.it; Catalogue of the Library of the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas; LIBRIS; MAK).

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.
