This volume has been expected since long, because it contains the time preceding the publication of General Relativity. It contains 31 documents, among these 6 which had not been published previously (Nr. 1, 10, 14, 19, 22 and 30). Doc. 14 ``The Einstein-Besso Manuscript on the Motion of the Perihelion of Mercury (P. 360-473) is also given in a facsimile version (p. 630-682). No doubt, the most wanted part of this volume is Doc. 10 ``Research Notes on Generalized Theory of Relativity (p. 210-269), the so-called ``Zürich Notebook which is not presented in a facsimile here. The results of this Notebook have been discussed in various newspapers since long, for example in the article ``Forschungstagebuch Einsteins entschlüsselt, Erfolg in Berlin (Frankfurter Allgemeine 4.10.1994) where one could read: ``Die Entzifferung von Einsteins Forschertagebuch werfe ein ganz neues Licht auch auf die internen Hintergründe der Entstehungsgeschichte der Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie:\dots vor dem Hintergrund der Ergebnisse \dots müsse die Geschichte der Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie neu geschrieben werden. However, what was announced as a sensation in 1994, was known to scientists since long; \textit{John Norton} had given a detailed analysis of the Zürich Notebook as early as 1984 [Historical Studies in Physical Sciences 14, part 2, 267-284 (1984)], including facsimiles of three pages.
