HENKIN LEON: (1921-2006) American logician and mathematician whose works played a strong role in the development of logic. Autograph statement signed, Leon Henkin, one page, 4to, n.p., n.d. (early 1950s). The head of the page features a researcher’s question, in French, ‘Que pensez-vous d'Einstein, ou que lui devez-vous?’ (Translation: ‘What do you think of Einstein, or what do you owe to him?’) beneath which Henkin has provided his response, ‘Einstein is a man of great insight, courage, and humanity – but no more than a man’. Some very light, extremely minor age wear to the edges, otherwise VG

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-born theoretical physicist, Nobel Prize winner for Physics, 1921.
