summary

Rabbinovicz commented on the aesthetic quality of the famed Bomberg Talmud: “The paper is exquisite, the letters black and vibrant, and the margins between [the commentaries of] Rashi and Tosaphoth and the Talmud broad; subsequent editions never matched up to its beauty.” See Ma’amar al hadpasath ha-Talmud, p.41
