Napoleon's birth certificate, 19 July 1782, (1921). 'Acte de Baptême de Joseph Bonaparte. Extrait authentique, daté du 19 jullet 1782'. The certificate states that Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was born in Corte, Corsica, on 8 January 1768, and given the first name Nabulion. This certificate has long been regarded as an alteration in order to add an extra year to Napoleon's age, allowing him to apply to the military school in Paris, which he entered in 1784, aged 15 instead of 16. Facsimile document from "Napoleon", by Raymond Guyot. [H. Floury, Paris, 1921]
