The 1911 encyclopedia lists May 6 as birthdate, however
[1] as well as [2] and some more lists May 2 - and the seond source even gives May 6 as date of his baptism. As at that time the date of baptism was more important then the actual birthdate the 1911 encyclopedia might be wrong. I will change the date in the article. andy 08:28 11 Jun 2003 (UTC)
