Eduard Alberti

His surviving published output includes approximately twenty biographical entries in Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie.

In 1850, in further pursuit of his academic objectives, he enrolled at the University of Kiel where, primarily under the supervision of Peter Wilhelm Forchhammer, he studied classical philology, passing his final exams in the first part of 1854.

[1] After this, till 1856 Alberti worked as a home tutor in Schwansen, employed by the family of the jurist-politician Magnus von Moltke [de].

[1] Alberti's more enduring footprint on history results from his published output, notably a new edition of Lexicon of Writers in Schleswig-Holstein-Lauenburg and Eutin (German: Lexikons der Schleswig-Holstein-Lauenburgischen und Eutinischen Schriftsteller).

[2] 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.
