Tractate Nazir with Rashi and Tosfot. Venice, [1521] Daniel Bomberg (Bombergi) Print.
Between years 1520-1524, Bomberg printed a full edition of the Babylonian Talmud. This was the first edition to include the entire Talmud. This is the edition which introduced the format used until this very day, with the words of the Talmud in the center of the page, Rashi on the inner side and Tosfot on the outer side. The numbering in this edition became the accepted numbering in most of the editions of the Talmud that followed, and in all citations according to page (daf). Antique glosses written in oriental Soletreo handwriting on daf B2 and daf C.
61 (should be 69) leaves, 38 cm. Complete copy in fair condition. Stains, mostly on the edges. Restored math damages, with slight damage to text. Leaf 65 and the last leaf are smaller than the rest. Modern leather binding.
