Spaltung der natuerlichsten Feldgleichungen fuer Semi-Vektoren in Spinor-Gleichungen vom Dirac'schen Typus. First edition, offprint issue, of the third 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" (Van Dongen, pp. 103-5).
