Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: December 5, 1547 (BnF authorities; Catalogus Professorum Academiae Groninganae) or December 15, 1547 (ECARTICO).
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.
