Vilna Edition Shas

The Vilna Edition of the Talmud, printed in Vilna (now Vilnius), Lithuania, is by far the most common printed edition of the Talmud still in use today as the basic text for Torah study in yeshivas and by all scholars of Judaism.

[1] This edition comprises 37 volumes and contains the entire Babylonian Talmud.

This edition was first printed in the 1870s and 1880s, but it continues to be reproduced photomechanically worldwide.

Plans for publication of the Vilna Shas were announced in 1834 by the owners of the Vilna-Horadna Press, Menachem Man Ream and Simcha Zimmel.

[4][5] A rival edition of the Talmud, the Slavuta Shas, had been published almost three decades earlier, in 1807.
