‎Notwendigkeit einer feineren mechanischen Zerlegung des Gehirns und der Nerven vor der chemischen, dargestellt aus Beobachtungen.‎

‎Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1833. Without wrappers. In: ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg.von Poggendorff"", Bd. 28, Siebentes Stück. Pp. 449-528. Entire issue offered with titlepage to vol. 28. Ehrenberg's paper: pp. 449-473 and 1 engraved plate with many figs. (nervecells and tubes, nerve fibres, ganglia).‎

‎First appearance of a milestone paper on the physiology of the brain, depicting for the first time the nerve cells and ganglia in the gray area of the brain. This work was also published seperately with the title ""Ueber den Mangel des Nervenmarks im Gehirne der Menschen und Thiere, den gegliederten röhrigen Bau des Gehrins und über normale Krystallbildung im lebenden Thierkörper"" (Aus Poggendorff's Annalen d. Physik...)""""In his groundbreaking work on microscopical structure of the brain and nerves, published in 1833 (the paper offered), the Berlin anatomist Christian Ehrenberg stated that according to his observations the nerves consisted of tubes, most of these cylindrical, some of them - the optical and auditory nerve and the nerves in the organ of smell - varicose. According to Ehrenberg, the cylindrical nerves contained 'substance that consisted of ""small plump but not very regular particles"", the nerve marrow. Ehrenberg also described smaller and bigger granulas in the substance of the brain, but as the dominant element of the brain he identified fibers. However he stressed that other than the nerve fibres,the brain were not simple cylindrical ones but ""resemble strings of beads"".2(Giora Hun et al.).‎

‎First edition of the paper in which the term ""Ultraviolet Catastrophe"" appeared for the first time. ""Ehrenfest was one of the first to try to understand the significance of the strange new concept of energy quanta that Max Planck had introduced into physics in 1900 in his theory of blackbody radiation. In a series of papers culminating in his major study of 1911 (the paper offered), ""Which Features of the Quantum Hypothesis Play an Essential Role in the Theory of Heat Radiation?,"" Ehrenfest picked out the essentials of the early quantum theory and showed how they fit together. He proved rigorously that the energy of electromagnetic vibrations cannot take on all values - cannot vary continuously - if the total energy of the blackbody radiation in an enclosure is to be finite: Planck’s assumption that energy is a discrete variable was, therefore, logically necessary and not just sufficient. Ehrenfest also showed, by an analysis of Wien’s displacement law, that the ratio of energy to frequency was the only variable that could be quantized for a harmonic oscillator, if one wanted to maintain the statistical interpretation of entropy.""(DSB).‎

‎Lichtsgeschwindigkeit und Statik des Gravitationsfeldes (&) Zur Theorie des statischen Gravitationsfeldes"‎

‎(Leipzig, Barth),1912. 8vo. No wrappers. In: ""Annalen der Physik IV, Bd. 38"", No 7. Pp.249-472 a. 3 plates. (Entire issue offered). Einstein's papers: pp. 355-369 and pp. 443-458. Clean and fine.‎

‎Both papers in first edition, and they are considered as the first appearance of a Nonlinear Field Equation for Gravitation. ""Einstein published two remarkable memoirs in 1912 which were efforts to construct a complete theory of gravitation incorporating the equivalence principle. In these memoirs Einstein supposed that the gravitational field can be characterized completely by one function, the local speed of light, analogous to the Newtonian description, where only the gravitational potential appears. By an extraordinary argument he extended the potential equation of Newton...In his second Memoir in 1912, he used the equivalence principle to show the influence of a static gravitational field on electromagnetic and thermal processes.""

‎Über die vom Relativitätsprincip geforderte Trägheit der Energie. (On the Inertia of Energy Required by the Relativity Principle).‎

VIII,1000 pp. a. 4 plates. (The entire volume offered). Einstein's paper: pp.371-384. A small stamp on titlepage (Gmelin.Institut.). Internally clean and fine.‎

‎First edition of the first explicit statement of Einstein's energy-mass equation E=mc2.Nearly all descriptions of Einstein's scientific work state that the mass-energy equivalence E=mc2 was first formulated in Einstein's 1907 review paper 'Über das Relativitätsprinzip und die aus demselben gezogenen.' published in 'Jahrbuch der Radioaktivität und Elektronik' (see Weil no. 21 and Dictionary of Scientific Biography, vol. 4 pp.323 for examples). However, in his paper 'Über die von Relativitätsprincip geforderte Trägheit der Energie' [the offered paper] which predates the former mentioned by six months, Einstein gave a clear statement of the mass-energy equivalence E=mc2. See Lanczos: The Einstein Decade, pp.149-150 and 153 as well as Volume 2 of 'The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein' pp. 428.Einstein's first paper regarding the relation E=mc2 is his fourth 1905 paper, 'Ist die Trägheit eines Körpers von seinem Energieinhalt abhängig?'. In this short paper Einstein showed that a body releasing the energy E in the form of radiation will have its mass decreased by E/c2, and concluded that the mass of a body is a measure of its energy content, e.g., that all energy has mass. The next time Einstein returns to the subject is in his 1906 paper 'Das Prinzip von der Erhaltung der Schwerpunkts Bewegung und die Trägheit der Energie.'. Here Einstein concluded that one must either ascribe the inertial mass E/c2 to any form of energy E or else give up the fundamental law mechanics regarding conservation of the motion of the center of gravity. Then finally in the 1907 paper 'Über die von Relativitätsprincip geforderte Trägheit der Energie.' [the offered paper] Einstein makes the decisive step of assuming that all mass has energy. On page 382 Einstein considers the total energy of a moving mass point as the sum of its kinetic energy and its rest energy. In classical mechanics it is most convenient to set the second term to zero but in relativistic mechanics one obtains the simplest expression by setting the rest energy equal to mc2. Einstein then continues to show that this stipulation cannot lead to a contradiction in any relativistic argument. In a footnote on page 382 Einstein states for the first time the equation E=mc2 and mentions that this equation is the expression of the principle of the equivalence of mass and energy - see Volume 2 of 'The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein' pp. 428.The volume contains another paper by Einstein ""Bemerkungen zu der Notiz von Hrn.

The 1916 theory had a classical structure in the sense that there were both field equations (the curvature of space-time is determined by the mass and motion of bodies in space-time) and equations of motion of bodies (the world line of small mass is a geodesic). Are these two statements really separate? If the field equations were linear, they indeed would be. They are not linear, however, and Einstein showed (in the papers offered) that if matter is represented by a point singularity of the metric field, these singularities are located on world lines that are geodesics of space-time, provided its metric satisfies the equation of general relativity.""(DSB).Weil: 202 a. 295 (both with an asterix denoting a major paper). - Boni: 236 a. 236.1.‎

However, such models are in contradiction with the aberration of light and other experiments (see ""Alternative theories"").

‎Illuminated Crusader Histories for Philip the Good of Burgundy,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Hardback, 312 p., 38 b/w ill. + 38 colour ill., 190 x 250 mm. ISBN 9782503518046.‎

‎Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy from 1419 to 1467, distinguished himself as a patron of illuminated histories and historical romances, and as host of the most lavish entertainment of the middle ages. The Banquet of the Pheasant was a response to the Fall of Constantinople, and it was staged to enlist support for the coming crusade. Two splendid tributes to heroic crusaders from the duke's family tree, commissioned in the 1450s, provide an opportunity to bring these elements of his reputation - bibliophile and would-be crusader--under the same lens. Our perception of the Charlemagne Chronicle in Brussels (BR, MS 9066-68) and the Jerusalem Chronicle in Vienna (ONB, Cod. 2533) is enhanced when we consider other examples of "crusade literature" and remember the perennial goal of recovering Jerusalem. This study of the visual and literary projects that supported Philip's efforts to launch a crusade, long after the days of the "classic" crusades, sets these manuscripts in the context of his court's interest in history writing and updated historical romances, and against the background of the French crusading tradition and the Burgundian incarnation that succeeded it.
