This volume presents cumulative indexes and cumulative editorial apparatus for the first ten volumes of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein (CPAE).
After the publication in 1987 of Volume 1, The Early Years, which contained various documents, writings, and correspondence covering the first twenty-three years of Einsteinâs life, the CPAE volumes chart three main chronological periods: the Swiss years; the Berlin years; and the Princeton years.
Albert Einstein (1879â1955) spent his childhood and adolescence in southern Germany. In 1896 he moved to Switzerland, where he attended the Swiss Polytech nic Institute (ETH), completed his doctorate, and worked, with a brief interlude in 1911â1912 as professor at the German University in Prague, until 1914, when he moved to Berlin as a permanent member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences and professor at the University of Berlin. In 1933, Einstein emigrated to the United States, where he spent the last twenty-two years of his life as a faculty member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
To date, an additional nine volumes covering the years 1903â1921 have been published, both in the original language âdocumentary edition,â and in the English- language âtranslation edition.â
*
With these ten volumes, the CPAE series now covers the first half of Einsteinâs life and thus more than two decades of extraordinary scientific achievements. The se ries, which begins with Einsteinâs birth certificate, contains all his scientific and nonscientific published writings. These include not only his first essay of 1895, his first research paper in 1901, the singular publication record of his annus mirabilis, 1905, and the papers leading to his breakthrough to general relativity in late 1915
x i i I N T R O D U C T I O N T O V O L U M E 1 1
and early 1916, but also his 1917 popular book on the theory of relativity and the Princeton lectures that were delivered in April 1921. In addition to his publications, the series presents a number of unpublished manuscripts, lecture notes, and calcu lations that document Einsteinâs work and thinking.
*
Throughout the first ten volumes, the original editorial method established for the series was largely adhered to, modified or supplemented in light of new material and information, unforeseen or unavailable more than twenty years ago. Items dis covered after the publication of a given CPAE volume to which they would proper ly belong in chronological order were published as soon as they came to the editorsâ attention at the beginning of a subsequent volume. Volume 10, in particu lar, presents 211 supplementary letters to the correspondence already published in Volumes 5, 8, and 9. Most of these items came from the estate of Margot Einstein (1899â1986), who stipulated that the material remain closed until twenty years after her death.
All of Einsteinâs published and unpublished writings, to the extent that they can be dated, are included in the series. However, in view of the large amount of extant correspondence from Einsteinâs later years containing an increasing number of routine financial and administrative correspondence, the editors of Volume 8 introduced a âpolicy of prudent selectivity.â The editors of Volumes 9 and 10 have imposed increasing selectivity criteria, such that these volumes only present those letters to and from Einstein that were deemed significant to a proper understanding of his life and work.

In order to facilitate comprehensive and swift access to the material published dur ing the past two decades, we decided to compile a volume that presents cumulative indexes and the editorial apparatus of the ten volumes published to date.
The core of the present volume is the âCumulative Index to Volumes 1â10.â While this index is based on a merged version of the ten individual general indexes to the documentary edition, the final Cumulative Index was prepared by means of a combination of manual work, resolving inconsistencies among the thesauri of the individual indexes, and automated routines that performed tasks such as detecting subentries, sorting, merging, and adding volume numbers to page numbers.
Each of the ten individual general indexes of the documentary edition contained an extensive entry on âEinstein, Albert (1879â1955),â containing numerous sub entries that pointed to information, primarily scientific, which was also referenced elsewhere in the index. Therefore, in the course of preparing the present Cumula tive Index, we have retained under this particular heading only those references that specifically refer to Einsteinâs work, family, travels, opinions, personal life, politi cal views, and so forth.
*
The present volume presents three bibliographies. The âList of Writings, 1891â 1921â and the âEinstein Bibliography, 1901â1921â provide chronological lists of Einsteinâs writings and publications, compiled from the documents included in the first ten volumes of the CPAE.
x i v I N T R O D U C T I O N T O V O L U M E 1 1
To a large extent, these lists overlap. However, the âList of Writings, 1891â 1921â also includes all of Einsteinâs manuscripts that remained unpublished by 1921, while the âEinstein Bibliography, 1901â1921â includes documents that were republished during this period.
Since the editorial objective of the CPAE is completeness in regard to Einsteinâs writings, these two sections constitute the most complete Einstein bibliographies to date for the years under consideration. In addition, the âEinstein Bibliography, 1901â1921â combines the bibliographic information with an index of citations. For each item, it lists the page numbers in the volumes where the item is referenced or discussed.
No effort has been made to extend the bibliographies of Einsteinâs publications and writings beyond 1921. Nevertheless, a number of Einsteinâs post-1921 publi cations can be found in the âCumulative Bibliography and Index of Citations to Volumes 1â10.â This section lists all the literature written by named authors that is cited in at least one of the first ten volumes of the series. It combines the cumulative literature cited with a cumulative index of citations.
We emphasize that the editorial method of the CPAE states that the âlists of literature cited do not constitute a bibliography of all significant works on Ein stein.â The same holds for the cumulative bibliography and index of citations. Moreover, we have excluded from the cumulative bibliography all references that were not authored or edited by a named person or group of persons, for example, those in Vorlesungsverzeichnisse, Adressverzeichnisse, Statuten, Verhandlungen, Jahresberichte, newspaper and journal runs, and so on.
*
In order to facilitate access to the correspondence presented in the Collected Papers, the present volume contains two complete lists of Einsteinâs correspon dence until and including the year 1920.
The first list presents the correspondence in chronological order, the second list presents the correspondence in alphabetical order by correspondent.
The primary purpose of these lists is to integrate the correspondence published in one of the Correspondence volumes with correspondence published in a later

We emphasize that the information in this volume is intended primarily to direct the reader to the relevant and authoritative information that can be found in the in dividual volumes of the documentary edition. We hope that readers of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein will find Volume 11 useful in facilitating access to the documents presented in the first ten volumes of the series.

The following is a chronological list of Albert Einsteinâs published und unpub lished scientific and nonscientific writings prior to 1922, excluding correspon dence. The list was compiled from the first ten volumes of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein in which each item below is presented as a document. The list there fore also includes Vol. 7, Doc. 71 (Vier Vorlesungen ĂŒber RelativitĂ€tstheorie, ge halten im Mai 1921), an item that was completed before 4 January 1922 and pub lished in 1922.
Items written but not published by Einstein are identified by the archival number given in square brackets. Published items are identified by the primary bibliograph ic reference and by a bibliographic short title under which the item is referred to in the documentary edition.
For a discussion of different drafts, versions, or reprints of an item, if those exist, consult the relevant volume of the documentary edition. For further information on published items, see also the âEinstein Bibliography, 1901â1921,â pp. 45â91.
In this listing, a title without quotation marks, and which is not the title of a mono graph, has been provided by the editors of the respective volume. Likewise, if a title appears both in English translation and in its original language, the former was also provided by the editors.
Items are dated by the date of completion, if known; otherwise, by the earliest known of the dates of submission, reception, or publication. If only a time frame could be established, the item is listed at its earliest possible date.
For lists of Einsteinâs correspondence, see the âAlphabetical List of Correspon dence, 1895â1920,â pp. 93â135, and the âChronological List of Correspondence, 1895â1920,â pp. 137â174.

I N T RO D U C T I O N
This volume presents cumulative indexes and cumulative editorial apparatus for the first ten volumes of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein (CPAE).
After the publication in 1987 of Volume 1, The Early Years, which contained various documents, writings, and correspondence covering the first twenty-three years of Einsteinâs life, the CPAE volumes chart three main chronological periods: the Swiss years; the Berlin years; and the Princeton years.
Albert Einstein (1879â1955) spent his childhood and adolescence in southern Germany. In 1896 he moved to Switzerland, where he attended the Swiss Polytech nic Institute (ETH), completed his doctorate, and worked, with a brief interlude in 1911â1912 as professor at the German University in Prague, until 1914, when he moved to Berlin as a permanent member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences and professor at the University of Berlin. In 1933, Einstein emigrated to the United States, where he spent the last twenty-two years of his life as a faculty member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
To date, an additional nine volumes covering the years 1903â1921 have been published, both in the original language âdocumentary edition,â and in the English- language âtranslation edition.â
*
With these ten volumes, the CPAE series now covers the first half of Einsteinâs life and thus more than two decades of extraordinary scientific achievements. The se ries, which begins with Einsteinâs birth certificate, contains all his scientific and nonscientific published writings. These include not only his first essay of 1895, his first research paper in 1901, the singular publication record of his annus mirabilis, 1905, and the papers leading to his breakthrough to general relativity in late 1915
x i i I N T R O D U C T I O N T O V O L U M E 1 1
and early 1916, but also his 1917 popular book on the theory of relativity and the Princeton lectures that were delivered in April 1921. In addition to his publications, the series presents a number of unpublished manuscripts, lecture notes, and calcu lations that document Einsteinâs work and thinking.
*
Throughout the first ten volumes, the original editorial method established for the series was largely adhered to, modified or supplemented in light of new material and information, unforeseen or unavailable more than twenty years ago. Items dis covered after the publication of a given CPAE volume to which they would proper ly belong in chronological order were published as soon as they came to the editorsâ attention at the beginning of a subsequent volume. Volume 10, in particu lar, presents 211 supplementary letters to the correspondence already published in Volumes 5, 8, and 9. Most of these items came from the estate of Margot Einstein (1899â1986), who stipulated that the material remain closed until twenty years after her death.
All of Einsteinâs published and unpublished writings, to the extent that they can be dated, are included in the series. However, in view of the large amount of extant correspondence from Einsteinâs later years containing an increasing number of routine financial and administrative correspondence, the editors of Volume 8 introduced a âpolicy of prudent selectivity.â The editors of Volumes 9 and 10 have imposed increasing selectivity criteria, such that these volumes only present those letters to and from Einstein that were deemed significant to a proper understanding of his life and work.
I N T R O D U C T I O N T O V O L U M E 1 1 x i i i

In order to facilitate comprehensive and swift access to the material published dur ing the past two decades, we decided to compile a volume that presents cumulative indexes and the editorial apparatus of the ten volumes published to date.
The core of the present volume is the âCumulative Index to Volumes 1â10.â While this index is based on a merged version of the ten individual general indexes to the documentary edition, the final Cumulative Index was prepared by means of a combination of manual work, resolving inconsistencies among the thesauri of the individual indexes, and automated routines that performed tasks such as detecting subentries, sorting, merging, and adding volume numbers to page numbers.
Each of the ten individual general indexes of the documentary edition contained an extensive entry on âEinstein, Albert (1879â1955),â containing numerous sub entries that pointed to information, primarily scientific, which was also referenced elsewhere in the index. Therefore, in the course of preparing the present Cumula tive Index, we have retained under this particular heading only those references that specifically refer to Einsteinâs work, family, travels, opinions, personal life, politi cal views, and so forth.
*
The present volume presents three bibliographies. The âList of Writings, 1891â 1921â and the âEinstein Bibliography, 1901â1921â provide chronological lists of Einsteinâs writings and publications, compiled from the documents included in the first ten volumes of the CPAE.
x i v I N T R O D U C T I O N T O V O L U M E 1 1
To a large extent, these lists overlap. However, the âList of Writings, 1891â 1921â also includes all of Einsteinâs manuscripts that remained unpublished by 1921, while the âEinstein Bibliography, 1901â1921â includes documents that were republished during this period.
Since the editorial objective of the CPAE is completeness in regard to Einsteinâs writings, these two sections constitute the most complete Einstein bibliographies to date for the years under consideration. In addition, the âEinstein Bibliography, 1901â1921â combines the bibliographic information with an index of citations. For each item, it lists the page numbers in the volumes where the item is referenced or discussed.
No effort has been made to extend the bibliographies of Einsteinâs publications and writings beyond 1921. Nevertheless, a number of Einsteinâs post-1921 publi cations can be found in the âCumulative Bibliography and Index of Citations to Volumes 1â10.â This section lists all the literature written by named authors that is cited in at least one of the first ten volumes of the series. It combines the cumulative literature cited with a cumulative index of citations.
We emphasize that the editorial method of the CPAE states that the âlists of literature cited do not constitute a bibliography of all significant works on Ein stein.â The same holds for the cumulative bibliography and index of citations. Moreover, we have excluded from the cumulative bibliography all references that were not authored or edited by a named person or group of persons, for example, those in Vorlesungsverzeichnisse, Adressverzeichnisse, Statuten, Verhandlungen, Jahresberichte, newspaper and journal runs, and so on.

In order to facilitate access to the correspondence presented in the Collected Papers, the present volume contains two complete lists of Einsteinâs correspon dence until and including the year 1920.
The first list presents the correspondence in chronological order, the second list presents the correspondence in alphabetical order by correspondent.
The primary purpose of these lists is to integrate the correspondence published in one of the Correspondence volumes with correspondence published in a later

We emphasize that the information in this volume is intended primarily to direct the reader to the relevant and authoritative information that can be found in the in dividual volumes of the documentary edition. We hope that readers of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein will find Volume 11 useful in facilitating access to the documents presented in the first ten volumes of the series.

The following is a chronological list of Albert Einsteinâs published und unpub lished scientific and nonscientific writings prior to 1922, excluding correspon dence. The list was compiled from the first ten volumes of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein in which each item below is presented as a document. The list there fore also includes Vol. 7, Doc. 71 (Vier Vorlesungen ĂŒber RelativitĂ€tstheorie, ge halten im Mai 1921), an item that was completed before 4 January 1922 and pub lished in 1922.
Items written but not published by Einstein are identified by the archival number given in square brackets. Published items are identified by the primary bibliograph ic reference and by a bibliographic short title under which the item is referred to in the documentary edition.
For a discussion of different drafts, versions, or reprints of an item, if those exist, consult the relevant volume of the documentary edition. For further information on published items, see also the âEinstein Bibliography, 1901â1921,â pp. 45â91.
In this listing, a title without quotation marks, and which is not the title of a mono graph, has been provided by the editors of the respective volume. Likewise, if a title appears both in English translation and in its original language, the former was also provided by the editors.
Items are dated by the date of completion, if known; otherwise, by the earliest known of the dates of submission, reception, or publication. If only a time frame could be established, the item is listed at its earliest possible date.
For lists of Einsteinâs correspondence, see the âAlphabetical List of Correspon dence, 1895â1920,â pp. 93â135, and the âChronological List of Correspondence, 1895â1920,â pp. 137â174.
