Talmud Bavli - Tractate Chulin: Venice 1521 – Daniel Bomberg, First Edition.
Babylonian Talmud with Rashi commentary and Tosefot, Piskei Tosefot, Perush Hamishnayot [Rambam] and Rabeinu Asher commentary. Printed by Daniel Bomberg from Antwerp in 1521 - Venice.
The Bomberg First edition of the Talmud (1520-1523) established the standard both in terms of page layout as well as pagination. Prior to the printing of the Talmud, manuscripts had no standard page division, and the Talmud text usually did not appear on the same page as the commentaries, which were contained in separate codices.The standard page layout in use in all conventional editions of Talmud today (also the accepted method of citing a Talmudic reference) follows the pagination of Bomberg's 1523 publication.
