Maseches Yoma Bomberg Venice 1520. Wide Margins. Rare.
Maseches Yoma, printed by Daniel Bomberg, with the Rashi and Tosfos commentaries alongside the Talmud. With additional commentary of the Rosh, as well as the Rambam’s commentary on the Mishna printed at the end of the volume. The blank spaces on either side of page 17 allow for the inclusion of hand-drawn schematic depictions of the Bais HaMikdash, which would serve as visual aids and facilitate the reader’s comprehension of the text.
Individual volume of the first complete edition of the Talmud. This edition determined the layout of the page for nearly every subsequent edition of the Talmud. Additionally, this particular edition of the Talmud is virtually free of the encroachments of the censor. As is well-known Daniel Bomberg spared no effort in printing an accurate and magnificent set of the Talmud. The result was the famed “Bomberg Shas” which has been a treasured collector’s item for generations.
Lacking title page, page 82 and page 87. Duplicates of pages 84 and 85.
Vinograd Venice 24. Bomberg press. (Should be) 97 pages. 39 cm. Overall fine condition. Professionally restored, affecting some text on the first 2 pages. Modern elegant leather binding.
With early unidentified glosses. One of the rarer Masechtos.
Opening bid $5000
