Hello all. I wanted to find a source for the location of Corydalleus' birth because there is a discrepancy between the Greek Wiki (1570) and English/German Wikis (1563). Instead, I found a source that claims he was born in 1574 - the Springer Encyclopedia of Renaissance Philosophy from 2022. The article about him begins on page 1804 . This article from 2023 also gives the date of birth as 1574. Can anyone provide a source for either the 1563 or 1570 birth year, or a reason why the 1574 claim(s) might be inaccurate or unreliable? Thank you, Kazamzam (talk) 17:21, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I almost certainly got the birthdate from the German Wikipedia when I created this article (but, as noted above, I only did so to fix red links and know nothing about the subject). Graham87 (talk) 04:57, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The German Wikipedia article may be based on his entry in the Katalog der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek (D-NB),[1] who in turn list the Greek Wikipedia article as their only source. The entry in the Virtual International Authority File,[2] which is also given as a reference in the German article, gives two dates (1563 and 1560), but that page has only existed since 2010. The Wikipedia article was created in 2008. I would not rule out that all of those, including D-NB, have taken the date from Wikipedia, and that there exists no original source.
