Rare first edition of Einstein's own popular account of his theories of Relativity in Yiddish. This translation is of the 10th edition (Braunschweig: Vieweg, 1920) of Einstein's own popular account of his theories. It is very rare. We have traced only the following institutional holdings: Brandeis, Harvard, Yiddish Book Center, YIVO, Library of Congress, Burndy Library (Huntingdon), and the National Library of Israel. Schlipp 169; Weil 90g.
Octavo (208 x 142mm). Additional calligraphic title enclosing small vignette portrait of the author. 109, [2pp. ads], 1p. colophon (very minor ink stain in margin of a few leaves towards end). Library cloth-backed boards (paper label removed from spine leaving adhesion marks on boards and associated paper loss). Provenance: ink library markings on front pastedown.
