summary

Alleging censorship of the Vilna Shas, the anonymous author seeks to ‘fill in what is missing… word for word and letter for letter, copied from an ancient Shas that was not lacking anything from the words of the Sages’. Unsurprisingly, many of the edits involve terms for idolatry and non-Jews. Includes the text of major commentaries. Second section (incomplete) focusses solely on the Maharsh”a.

ff. 52 (of 54), 16 (of 18). Some worming and stains. Unbound. 8vo.
