Nope, Kirk did meet him, and reported it in his logs, which is why Janeway 
knew of it, Kirk met him because in the Original Series the episode 
REQUIEM FOR METHUSELA the character 'Flint' was a long lived human and he had 
in fact been Brahms, Da Vinci, Solomon, Alexander, Merlin, and many more....
Flint recounts how he came to be imoprtal near the end of the episode when 
Kirk, Spock and McCoy discover the Rayna android prototypes.
JB> Or, it could be from one of the novels.  Since I haven't read them all, 
That would be rare, as Berman said they never tie into the the novels, 
usually it's the other way around.
 I'm not sure why they don't consider some of the novels, because it would 
help with some of the continuity problems..
Such as WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED TO THE KLINGONS AND ROMULANS!!! To make 
them have 'pronounced' forheads?
JB> I think it was a ploy to make TOS viewers sit up and say "What?!"
That is possible, more likely though they did it as a means to tie Voyager to
