P. Francken, 1762), p. 299: "Dorothea Sybilla, geboren 1590 in der Mitternacht vom 19ten auf den 20ten Oct. Haftitius sezt wieber 9ten Oct. an." [Translation: Dorothea Sybilla, born in 1590 at midnight between the 19th and 20th Oct. Haftitius posits again Oct 9th.] Scholfield notes that 9 Oct [OS] equals 19 Oct [NS].
