Einstein–Besso Manuscript on the Perihelion Motion of Mercury Sold for Record Amount (2022)

unapi

In 1913, Albert Einstein and Michele Besso tried to explain the anomalous advance of Mercury's perihelion on the basis of the precursor theory of general relativity. A manuscript bundle documents their work. This manuscript was recently auctioned for a record amount. The paper gives a brief discussion of the significance and history of this manuscript.
