Hebrew University adds new manuscripts to Einstein archive

None

The Hebrew University says it has obtained a "magnificent" collection of Albert Einstein's manuscripts, including a personal letter in which he expressed shame for not knowing the Hebrew language.

 

The university announced the acquisition on Wednesday ahead of the physicist's 140th birthday, following a donation by the Crown-Goodman Foundation. The Chicago-based foundation purchased the 110-page collection from a private collector in North Carolina for an undisclosed sum.
