Life
Salomon Alberti was born on September 30, 1540 in Naumburg (Saale) . In 1541 he moved with his parents to Nuremberg, where his father died a year later. The mother Dorothea († August 21, 1588 in Wittenberg) did not have enough financial means; therefore the council of the city of Nuremberg took care of the boy, provided for his maintenance and a solid school education. In 1560 the city of Nuremberg enabled him to study medicine at the University of Wittenberg . There he obtained the academic degree of a master's degree in liberal arts in 1564 , was admitted to the philosophical faculty of the Wittenberg University in 1574, became professor of physics in 1575 and, two years later, in 1577, professor of anatomy. He was entrusted with this task for 17 years. From 1592 Alberti became the personal physician of Duke Friedrich Wilhelm in Dresden.
Alberti was one of those German doctors who continued the renewal of anatomy begun by Andreas Vesalius . Due to individual examinations, he was highly regarded in specialist circles. He dealt extensively with the venous valves, about which the Italian anatomist Girolamo Fabrizio had already written. Alberti also published findings on the human lacrimal system and wrote a textbook on anatomy that achieved several editions. He was also a good Latin poet.
Salomon Alberti spent the last years of his life at the electoral court in Dresden. There he died on March 28, 1600. In the Wittenberg town church there is an epitaph for the deceased sons of Salomon Alberti. There is a memorial plaque on his former home at Juristenstrasse 9 in Wittenberg .
