summary

A RARE TRACTATE FROM THE EDITO PRINCEPS OF THE BABYLONIAN TALMUD. Daniel Bomberg’s editions of 1520-23 formed the edito princeps of the Babylonian Talmud setting the standard pagination and layout to which almost all subsequent editions adhered: a section of the Mishnah text followed by its Gemara, the commentary of Rashi on the inner margin and that of the Tosaphists on the outer. For a general survey, see: M. Heller, Printing the Talmud, (1992) pp. 135-154

ff. 28. Few light stains in places, trace worming on last few leaves. Later chestnut half-morocco marbled boards. Folio
