[1]See
Minkowski 1908 for Minkowski's
original
formulation;
see, e.g.,
Laue
1913, §§21,
22,
for
an
overview. Einstein used Minkowski's
approach
in
an
unpublished manuscript
of
1912-1914
on
the
special theory
of
relativity
(see Vol.
4,
Doc.
1).
[2]Einstein
1914o
(Doc.
9);
see
§11
for
a
discussion of
electromagnetism,
in
which dual six-
vectors
are
used.
In
the fall of
1915
Einstein had
already
found
a
way to
avoid the
use
of
six-
vectors
in
the framework of the
theory
of
1914 (see
Einstein
to H. A. Lorentz, 23
September
1915).
