He was born to a Jewish family in Iași in 1840.[1] He was educated at the gymnasium at Ratibor and at the University of Berlin (M.D. 1865). After a postgraduate course under Graefe, Landesberg went to the United States, where he practised in New York and Philadelphia.[2] He was the American editor of the Revue d'Ophthalmologie of Paris.[3]

In 1894, he moved to Florence, Italy, dying there the next year.[4]
