Two Talmud Volumes, with Handwritten Replacement of Censorship Omissions
Two Talmud volumes, in which the passages omitted in printing due to censorship restrictions were completed by hand:
• Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Bava Kama. [Berlin, 1727].
Small format. Each leaf corresponds with one page of the regular Talmud editions. This tractate was printed on its own, and is not part of a complete Talmud edition.
Chiddushei Halachot by the Maharsha was printed at the end of the volume. Torah Or, Ein Mishpat and Masoret HaShas were integrated in the text of the Talmud, in smaller typeface.
Passages were omitted in this edition due to censorship restrictions, including over half a page on folio 38a, and lengthy passages on other leaves. In this copy, most of the censored passages were replaced in handwriting (in square script and semi-cursive script).
[153] leaves. Lacking title page. 18 cm. Fair condition. Stains and wear. Several leaves with tears, damage, worming and margins trimmed on text border, with occasional damage to text. Several detached leaves. Early leather binding, damaged.
The Bibliography of the Hebrew Book lists an incomplete copy, lacking at the end. The NLI copy is lacking in the middle and at the end.
• Babylonian Talmud, Tractates Sanhedrin, Shevuot, Makkot, Eduyot, Minor Tractates and Avot. Berlin and Frankfurt an der Oder, [1737].
On folio 43a, a lengthy passage about Yeshu (Jesus) was omitted due to censorship. In this copy, the passage was replaced in handwriting. Omitted passages on other leaves were also replaced in handwriting.
4-98, 101-104, 99-100, 105-113, 21; 50, 10, 4; [1], 24, 5, [1]; 14, 15, 17-26, 8; 9; 5 leaves. Leaves bound out of sequence (leaves 101-104 bound after leaf 98). Lacking four leaves at beginning of Tractate Sanhedrin and leaf 16 of Tractate Soferim. 34 cm. Fair-poor condition. Stains, worming, tears and extensive wear, affecting text in several places. Dampstains and traces of past dampness, with mold on several leaves. Detached leaves and gatherings. Without binding.
