Description

Jan Chrzciciel Albertrandi (1737-1808) was librarian and antiquarian at the service of Stanisław II August Poniatowski, King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Three letters by Albertrandi to Joseph Eckhel are kept in Vienna. They were written between July and October 1778, when Albertrandi was in Rome for the second time.
