Description Drawing on recent studies and newly found sources, the present essay looks at Albert Einstein's colleague Marcus Grossmann, his critic Tullio Levi-Civita, and David Hilbert along with Hilbert's Göttingen colleagues to discuss mathematical issues at the heart of Einstein's theory of general relativity.
