EINSTEIN’S CORRESPONDENCE AND WRITINGS
The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, vols. 1–10. 1987–2006. Princeton: Princeton University Press. (Abbreviated CPAE)
The founding editor was John Stachel. The current general editor is Diana Kormos Buchwald. Other editors over the years include David
Cassidy, Robert Schulmann, Jürgen Renn, Martin Klein, A. J. Knox, Michel Janssen, Jósef Illy, Christoph Lehner, Daniel Kennefick, Tilman
Sauer, Ze’ev Rosenkranz, and Virginia Iris Holmes.
These volumes cover the years 1879–1920. Each volume comes in a German version and an English translation. The page numbers in
each differ, but the document numbers are the same. In cases where I cite some information that is in one version but not the other (such as an
editor’s essay or footnote), I designate the volume and language version and cite the page number.
Albert Einstein Archives. (Abbreviated AEA)
These archives are now at Hebrew University in Jerusalem with copies at the Einstein Papers Project at Caltech and in the Princeton
University library. Documents from the archives are cited both by date and by the AEA folder (reel) and document number. In the case of most
of the untranslated German documents, I have relied on translations made for me by James Hoppes and Natasha Hoffmeyer.
