A many-sided musician: the life of Francesco Barsanti (c. 1690-1775) revisited; pages 95-96 (Francesco Maria Barsanti; according to Sir John Hawkins Francesco Barsanti was born about the year 1690, Lucca) page 98 ("The expression 'about the year 1690' in reference to Barsanti's birth looks like an inference rather than a year named by the musician himself. It is probably approximately correct, but the true date may well be a few years later. There is no known record from English sources of Barsanti's age at the time of his marriage or death, and a future trawl through baptismal records in Lucca seems the most likely route to discovering his birth date.") page 150 ("The date of Barsanti's death is situated in the literature at various points between 1740 and 1777. In fact, it occurred on 30 April 1775.")
