Abstract
- In 1913, Albert Einstein and Michele Besso tried to explain the anomalous advance of Mercury's perihelion on the basis of the precursor theory of general relativity. A manuscript bundle documents their work. This manuscript was recently auctioned for a record amount. The paper gives a brief discussion of the significance and history of this manuscript. The anomalous advance of Mercury's perihelion is a classical test of general relativity. A manuscript by Albert Einstein and Michele Besso documenting their attempt in 1913 to explain the effect on the basis of a precursor theory was recently auctioned for a record amount.
