A
NOTE ON SECONDARY LITERATURE
In
preparing
the editorial
notes
and other
annotations
for
this
volume,
the editors
have made extensive
use
of
a large body
of
secondary
literature
commenting
on
the
primary
sources
contained
or
cited
in
this volume.
Since these
secondary
sources are
cited
only
for
specific purposes,
the extent
of
our general
debt
to
the
secondary
literature
on
Einstein and
on
the
history
of
modern
physics
is not
always
evident.
We
acknowledge
it
here,
with
an expression
of
gratitude
to
the authors.
Works which have been
particularly
useful include:
Bernhardt

Some
of
the Einstein
correspondence
cited in this volume has been
previously
published.
In
particular,
the Einstein-Stark
correspondence
has been
published
in
Hermann
1966;
the Einstein-Mach
correspondence
in
Herneck
1966b;
the Ein-
stein-Besso
correspondence
in Einstein/Besso
1972;
and those
parts
of
the
Einstein-Sommerfeld
correspondence
cited
in
this volume
in
Eckert and Pricha
1984. Since the letters cited will
ultimately
be included in this
edition,
citations
of
these
sources are
not
included in
our
annotations.
Unless otherwise
noted,
biographical
information in the annotations is drawn
from
Debus
1968;
Gillispie
1970-1980;

literarisches Handwörterbuch.
