Date of Death

While reading the Complete Poetry of Jorge Luis Borges (ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0307743503), I came across a poem entitled Olaus Magnus (1490-1558). When I researched this person starting here on Wikipedia, I wanted to correct his date of death to match what I found in Borges. However, sources seem to point in different directions, and many support the current date of 1557. Even the sources that testify to the 1558 date, most of them auctioning sites for his manuscripts, agree with the August 1st date. I wonder why this discrepancy exists and whether we should address it in the main article. Profesor Josué (talk) 14:44, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

many olaus magni

three are many persons with the same name. There was a bishop in Åbo/ Turku of Finland proper 1450-60. Teuton 22:13, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know that. I suggest you create a page called Olaus Magni (bishop of Åbo) for him. / Fred-Chess 00:24, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yeah, there were plenty of Magnuses around in the Nordic countries back in the days, still are, but fewer these days willingly pick up a latin family name that means The Great. Maybe it's a church thing. 129.215.149.99 18:00, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
