A 54-page manuscript, with essays on the Theory of Relativity, written by physicists Albert Einstein and Michele Besso, fetched €11.6 million, about R$72 million. The dispute took place this Tuesday (23), at Christie’s auction house, in Paris.

The auction brought together several items available online, among which were some rarities. The Einstein Manuscript, the highlight of the election, had the expectation of reaching between R$ 13 million and R$ 19 million, however, the final result, of R$ 72 million, surprised even the organizers:
“This is, without a doubt, the most valuable Einstein manuscript that has ever been auctioned”, comments the auction house Christie’s, which treats the feat as an “exceptional sale”.
The Manuscript
According to Christie’s, the document brings together a series of calculations and equations related to Einstein’s general theory of relativity, mainly in an attempt to understand the anomaly in the precession of the perihelion of the planet Mercury.
In all, the manuscript has 26 pages written by Einstein and 25 pages with Besso’s handwriting, in addition to three pages with the participation of the two physicists.
To celebrate the feat, the Christie’s auction house hosted the meeting of astrophysicist Etienne Klein and book expert Vincent Belloy to discuss the Einstein-Bessot manuscript.
