Catholic encyclopedia online, Oct. 12, 2010: (St. Albertus Magnus; also known as Albert the Great; date of birth given as either 1193 or 1205 or 1206; d. Nov. 15, 1280; appointed Bishop of Regensburg in 1260 but resigned a few years later to resume teaching duties)
Wikipedia, April 18, 2024 (Albertus Magnus OP (c. 1200 - 15 November 1280), also known as Saint Albert the Great, Albert of Swabia or Albert of Cologne, was a German Dominican friar, philosopher, scientist, and bishop, considered one of the greatest medieval philosophers and thinkers. It seems likely that Albertus Magnus was born sometime before 1200, given well-attested evidence that he was aged over 80 on his death in 1280. Two later sources say that Albert was about 87 on his death, which has led 1193 to be commonly given as the date of Albert's birth, but this information does not have enough evidence to be confirmed. Albert was probably born in Lauingen (now in Bavaria), since he called himself 'Albert of Lauingen', but this might simply be a family name. Other names: Albertus Teutonicus, Albertus Coloniensis. Died in Cologne, Holy Roman Empire) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albertus_Magnus
