Biographies

The overview above is drawn from the following published accounts. Read them in the original:

Cecie Stainer+

A maker in Rome about 1720-50.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Seine Geigen sehen wenig italienisch
aus, so dass es nahe liegt, ihn für einen Eingewanderten — vielleicht Böhmen — zu halten, wozu auch der Name Veranlassung bietet. Die Arbeit ist gut, der Lack gelb.
