summary

Owing to the fact that Poland, which previously supplied world Jewry with editions of the Talmud, was now occupied by the Nazis, Hungarian Jewry was forced to print the Talmud for home consumption. See Yeshiva University Museum Catalogue, Printing the Talmud: From Bomberg to Schottenstein (2005) pp. 292-3, no. 62 (incl. facs.)

ff. 64, 12. Browned and brittle. Contemporary marbled boards, chipped. Sm. folio
