These documents enable us to make an independent reconstruction of the histori- cal development of general relativity and therefore also allow an independent assessment of Einstein’s later reflections.[10] [1]Einstein 1921d (Vol. 7, Doc. 53). There are two manuscripts that in all probability are earlier drafts for this paper (Vol. 7, Docs. 31 and 50). [2]See Vol. 12, Appendix D, p. 519. [3]See Abiko 2000, p. 3.
