summary

It is generally accepted that Masechta Pesachim was the first volume of the Bomberg Talmud to be printed. It is the only Tractate without a date which leads Rabinovicz to conclude that its absence on his first volume was regarded as a defect by Bomberg, which he promptly corrected in the following volumes. See: M. Heller, Printing the Talmud,New York 1992 p. 141
