Description

Ludwik Silberstein's typed, annotated, and handwritten personal bibliography, fourteen pages on eleven sheets, 8.5 x 11, headed: "List of Scientific Papers and Books by Dr. L. Silberstein." Silberstein lists 179 of his scientific works in chronological order, beginning with "1. Ueber d. Bewegung e electrisierten Korpers in e. Dielectrium. Annalen der Physik, Vol. 48, Leipzig, 1893" and concluding with "179. The Most Probable Colorimetric Tensor Derived from n Color Matchings. (Corrigendum to No. 170.) Phil. Mag. Ser. 7, Vol. …, p. …, 1947." The first nine pages are typed (with occasional handwritten notations), and the last five are handwritten by Silberstein. The wide variety of publications reveal Dr. Silberstein's diverse scientific interests—electromagnetism, optics, relativity, vector algebra, quantum theory, photography, helium, and more—as well as his mastery of several languages, including Polish, German, and English. The comprehensive document is a remarkable first-hand record of a lifetime of scientific work. In overall very good to fine condition, with light toning and soiling, and some paper loss to the edge of the first page.

From the collection of physicist Ludwik Siberstein.
