Born in 1424, father died in 1421 ?

Hello, there seems to be some difficulty with the dates. I see that in the page in Nederlandish, Tommaso was born in 1432, this makes it even more difficult for the father to die so early. Do you have any idea ? --ManiacParisien (talk) 05:44, 5 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Contradictory sources

edit

As described in the article I've added as further reading, Margaret Koster discovered primary sources in Florence's Archivio di Stato that contradict the account of Portinari's life given by Raymond de Roover in his 1963 book (currently cited in our article). De Roover claims, for instance, that Portinari died in poverty and that his son, Francesco, refused to accept his father's inheritance for fear that the assets would be unable to pay off the accompanying debts. However, according to an addendum to Portinari's will discovered by Koster, Francesco did in fact accept the terms of his father's will shortly after he died (Koster pp. 164–65). Koster does not fully describe the points at which de Roover's information is incomplete or inaccurate, so I'm not sure to what extent our article is misinformed. Any editors with access to de Roover's book may be interested in making a more extensive comparison with Koster's article. Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 00:02, 20 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Well, why don't you update the article? Johnbod (talk) 14:43, 20 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
