<title> SUMMARY </title>The «Singapore Manuscript» (1923) from the collection of manuscripts conserved at the «Albert Einstein Archives» in Jerusalem is published here in its entirety for the first time. This manuscript is the first draft of an article by Einstein published in the «Sitzungsberichte» of the German Academy of Sciences in 1923. In January 1923, during his travels in West Asia, while in Singapore, Einstein compared once again the alternative Theories of «Gravitation» and «Unified Field» formulated by Weyl and Eddington to the theoretical unity of his «new» generalized theory. Einstein's attempt to reaffirm the superiority of his «Theory», however, turned out to be in vain. The issue of the connection between the two fields, the electromagnetic and the gravitational, would become his final area of concentration, especially with respect to the new developments of quantum physics.
