Nearly all literature about Balatri gave 1676 as his year of birth. Karl Vossler, who published a selection of the manuscript "Frutti del Mondo" in 1924, calculated this date after a note about Balatri's death which stated that he lived until the age of 80.
Balatri's true date of birth is February 21, 1682 (birth register of Pisa)
