summary

Announcement by the publisher's of the famed Vilna Shas, extolling the virtues of their enterprise, and issued following the publication of the first volume. Of particular note, the Romms defer to the wishes of Rabbinical authorities and state they will not set the headings of Rashi's commentary in bold characters as this will run counter to past tradition. - Of interest, this view has changed with the publication of recent Talmud editions in the past two decades
