Die Diracgleichungen fuer Semivektoren. First edition, offprint issue, of the second of Einstein and Mayer's four classic papers on semi-vectors, in which they aimed to incorporate the Dirac equation into the general theory of relativity."By introducing semi-vectors, Einstein wanted to arrive at a mathematically simpler and more general formulation of spinors... The semi-vector generalization of the Dirac equation was thought to give a unified description of charged elementary particles, in particular of the electron and proton... In their second semi-vector paper, Einstein and Mayer were on the lookout for the most general Dirac system possible for the semivector" (Van Dongen, pp. 103-11).
