Reissner, Hans J.
- Offering two copies of the famous paper–the offprint is certainly very scarce, and Reissner’s own copy of course is probably a unique. Provenance: Hans J. Reissner pamphlet collection.
“Ueber die Eigengravitation des elektrischen Feldes nach der Einsteinschen Theorie” Offprint: Annalen der Physik, 4/50, 1916. Pp 106-120. Without the original outer wrappers. Numerous annotations and calculations on pp 108—111-113, 117, 118, 119. A Good copy, only, of a working issue of the paper. From what I can see none of the annotations were incorporated in the final version of the paper.
Offered with: another offprint copy of the same paper (“Ueber die Eigengravitation des elektrischen Feldes nach der Einsteinschen Theorie”) from Annalen der Physik, 4/50, 1916. Pp 106-120, in the original wrappers, which is the standard (and uncommon) offprint format.
The pair: $On hold.
