Valuable Books and Manuscripts

Alongside this is a wonderful collection of offprints by Einstein. These papers include three out of the four works published by Einstein in 1905, his annus mirabilis, complete with his Nobel Prize-winning work. The provenance of these papers is extraordinary, for they were formerly in the collection of Arnold Sommerfeld, the German theoretical physicist who made significant contributions to atomic and quantum physics. Sommerfeld was an exceptional educator, mentoring seven Nobel Prize winners and numerous other prominent physicists.
