Why is it important?
The information is derived from in-depth analysis of archival materials and presents important new information on the development and history behind the theory of relativity. The translation foreword includes comments on translation quality.
Perspectives
As the translator, I see this publication as a way of bringing important German history of science research to the English-speaking and wider world. It also allowed me to discuss my translation approach and issues of translation quality.
