Friedlaender (c. 1860–c. 1923), published a number of works of doubtful authenticity or pure forgeries. Here, he claims to have discovered a number of early editions of the Talmud Yerushalmi containing extensive marginal notes of “famous Geonim - mostly Sephardic,” based upon which, Friedlaender edited the text. The introduction here provides an overview of the history of the publication of the Yerushalmi and its commentaries. Contains rabbinic approbations including that of R. Chaim Soloveitchik - no doubt entirely spurious
