The Venice Shas
The first complete set of Talmud Bavli was printed by Daniel Bomberg in his famed printing house in Venice between the years 1520-1523. The complete set was a masterpiece, with attractive, clear type and practically free of censorship. It likewise contained new additions that were printed for the first time ever, based on handwritten manuscripts. Only three years after completing the first edition of Shas, which was joyously received by Jews the world over, Bomberg set about typesetting the second edition and completed the project in 1531.
Commonly regarded as the prototype for all future editions, the Venice Shas established the famous tzuras hadaf which fixed the page numbers in each tractate and served as the basis for all future printings of the Gemara. Until this very day, anyone who cites a source in Shas references the daf as established in Bomberg’s Venice Shas.
