Eduard Alberti

Eduard Alberti (11 March 1827 – 28 February 1898) was a German literary historian and philosopher. His surviving published output includes approximately twenty biographical entries in Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie.

Life Eduard Christian Scharlau Alberti was born in Friedrichstadt, at that time in the Duchy of Schleswig, then part of Denmark. He attended school in his hometown and then, between 1844 and Easter 1848, undertook a training in printing and book production ("Buchdruck"). He worked on Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, to which he contributed approximately twenty articles for the volumes covering the letters B to E. He also wrote on his own account: his final work, produced jointly with his brother Leopold Alberti, was entitled Poems of Two Brothers (German: Gedichte zweier Brüder) and appeared in 1898 very shortly before his death.
