summary

In the Bomberg edition, as in other early editions of the Talmud, blank spaces were left where diagrams were to be placed within the texts of Talmud, Rashi or Tosaphoth. (The one exception to the rule is the diagram in Rashi, Sotah 43a). Occasionally, these diagrams would subsequently be supplied by hand. We have in our copy such an example on f.62r. (See Ma’amar al hadpasath ha-Talmud, p. 41)

ff. 609 (i.e. 217). Title supplied in facsimile. ff. 75-76, 77-78 bound out of sequence. Slight worming, some wormholes expertly repaired. On f. 196v. two lines stricken by Church censor. Recent morocco with florets. Folio
