Abstract
The Nachlass of Einstein's close friend and confidant Michele Besso (1873--1955) contains four pages, written on a folded sheet, with what appear to be Besso's notes of discussions with Einstein about a preliminary version of general relativity known in the historical literature as the ``Entwurf'' (``outline'') theory.1 The first two pages of this Besso memo are reproduced in facsimile in Figs. 1 and 2.2 Of the various points recorded in the memo two in particular are bound to catch the eye of a modern historian of relativity.
