Now in paperback, this volume presents Albert Einstein's 1912 manuscript on the special theory of relativity, one of the most revolutionary and influential scientific documents of the twentieth century. It includes faithful reproductions of each of the seventy-two handwritten pages along with an English translation of the original German text. A tribute to Einstein's genius, the book opens with a brief essay by Hanoch Gutfreund, a chronology of Einstein's life, a selection of quotes by Einstein, and, to introduce the manuscript, a detailed description of the manuscript, its contents, publication history, and provenance. The manuscript pages themselves then follow, reproduced in full colour, with the English translation facing each page. Subtle variations in paper and ink are clearly visible in the excellent reproductions, indicating where and when Einstein drafted certain parts of it. Because the manuscript shows extensive reworking, it reveals Einstein's thought processes more than any other of his handwritten works. Einstein's 1912 Manuscript provides a glimpse into one of the greatest minds of the last century.

Fine. 4to-over 9¾"-12" tall. First published in 1996, this book is the revised edition from 2003, 174 pages, illustrated with b&w photographs and full page facsimile pages of the original edition. "It is a puzzle that so many idolized Einstein for an achievement of which they understood almost nothing. On the other hand, it may be a tribute to humankind that an individual can be so honored for what is generally only sensed as an outstanding intellectual breakthorough. Through the purchase of the 1912 Einstein manuscript on special relativity, not only has the Jacob E. Safra Philanthropic Foundation given this testimony of Einstein's genius an eternal home in Jerusalem, where it rightfully belongs, but the Foundation has also provided an opportunity to shed some light on Einstein's many-faceted personaility."
