EINSTEIN, Albert. Erklärung der Perihelbewegung des Merkur aus der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie. [Offprint from:] Preussische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Sitzungsberichte, XLVII. Berlin, 1915.
8o. Original printed wrappers.
FIRST EDITION, AUTHOR'S PRESENTATION OFFPRINT ISSUE. "Explanation of the Perihelion Motion of Mercury from the General Theory of Relativity" Presented November 18, 1915 and published November 25, 1915.
This is the first publication of Einstein's first post-Newtonian results, and it is, of the greatest historical importance. He was able to acheive more accuracy in the measurement of the precession of the perihelion of Mercury. He also found that the bending of light is twice as large as he thought it was in 1911. EXTREMELY RARE. Weil 76.
