[And:] – ‘Über eine Methode zur Bestimmung des Verhältnisses der transversalen und longitudinalen Masse des Elektrons.’ Offprint from: Annalen der Physik. 4th Series, vol. 21. Leipzig: Barth, 1906. [And:] – ‘Lichtgeschwindigkeit und Statik des Gravitationsfeldes.’ Offprint from: Annalen der Physik. 4th Series, vol. 38. Leipzig: Barth, 1912. [And with:] – and Marcel GROSSMANN (1878-1936). ‘Entwurf einer verallgemeinerten Relativitätstheorie und einer Theorie der Gravitation. I. Physikalischer Teil … II. Mathematischer Teil.' Offprint from: Zeitschrift für Mathematik und Physik. Vol. 62. Leipzig and Berlin: B. G. Teubner, 1913.
An extremely important collection of 11 offprints, from the library of the pioneering theoretical physicist Arnold Sommerfeld (1868-1951). This collection contains some extremely important papers of Einstein’s works. The first named is significant because it further develops Einstein's ideas on the relationship between mass and energy, expanding on his famous equation E=mc². The second named contributes to his work on special relativity and the behaviour of electrons at high velocities, while the third named represents Einstein's early work on gravitational theory, which would eventually lead to his general theory of relativity. The final named paper, co-authored with Marcel Grossmann, is crucial as it presents an early version of Einstein's general theory of relativity, which would revolutionize our understanding of gravity and space-time.
Arnold Sommerfeld was a German theoretical physicist who made significant contributions to atomic and quantum physics. He extended Niels Bohr's atomic model by introducing elliptical orbits for electrons and proposed additional quantum numbers, including the azimuthal and magnetic quantum numbers. Sommerfeld also introduced the fine-structure constant, contributed to X-ray wave theory, and co-discovered the Sommerfeld-Wilson quantization rules. His seminal work ‘Atombau und Spektrallinien’ became a foundational text for the new generation of physicists developing atomic and quantum physics. Sommerfeld was an exceptional educator, mentoring 7 Nobel Prize winners and numerous other prominent physicists. Despite being nominated for the Nobel Prize a record 84 times, he never received the award. Nevertheless, he was honoured with several prestigious accolades, including the Lorentz Medal, the Max-Planck Medal, and the Oersted Medal, and was elected to numerous scientific academies worldwide. In 1918, Sommerfeld succeeded Einstein as chair of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft, and in 1922 Einstein wrote to his successor: ‘What I especially admire about you is that you have, as it were, pounded out of the soil such a large number of young talents’ (A. Pais, ‘Subtle is the Lord...’: The Science and Life of Albert Einstein, 1982).
11 works, octavo (most 222 x 143mm or approx. 253 x 170mm) and quarto (280 x 200mm). Publisher's printed wrappers, all bar two author's offprints with the text ‘Überreicht vom Verfasser’ printed either on the upper wrapper or one first page of text (occasional faint dust-soiling, most with faint vertical ceasefold). Provenance: Arnold Sommerfeld (red chinagraph numbering and underlining on all of the upper wrappers, 2 upper wrappers with ownership inscriptions).
