Description

First offprints in the original wrappers and new pagination, of this important two-part paper by Einstein formulating new developments towards Unified Field Theories. - Content: Einstein made several attempts at a five-dimensional unified field theory, including this two-part collaboration with Austrian mathematician Walther Mayer (nicknamed „Einstein's calculator“), "in which a new unified field theory was proposed, one based on a four-dimensional space-time continuum with a five-dimensional tangent space attached at each point" (Pais, Subtle is the Lord, p. 492). - Condition: Very well preserved. - Reference: Boni-Russ-L. 207; Printing and the Mind of Man 416 („Principal Work“); Schilpp-Shields 251 and 261; Weil *182 and *185 (quotes the paginations of the first separate printings, p. 541-557 and 130-137).
