The first version of Einstein's unified field theory.
Albert Einstein. 1925
Albert Einstein (1879-1955).

‘Einheitliche Feldtheorie von Gravitation und Elektrizität.’ Offprint from: Sitzungsberichte der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Vol. XXII, p.414-419. Berlin: Verlag der Akademie der Wissenschaften, 1925.

First separate edition of this early attempt by Einstein to formulate his unified field theory, stemming ‘from his dissatisfaction with the general relativity theory, which did not adequately incorporate the electromagnetic field into the geometry of space-time’ (Norman 698). Boni 155; Weil 182.

Quarto (258 x 181mm). Original orange printed wrappers, contained in cloth portfolio within solander box. Provenance: Michael Sharpe (gilt leather book label on inside of box).
