The Acharonim that made it onto the Daf

In this final session of our series we will become acquainted with two works found in most masechtot in the margins of the Daf, both of which were written by acharonim, i.e. in relatively recent times (18th and 19th centuries CE): הגהות הגר”א and  גליון הש”ס.

And to conclude our tour of the Daf, we will mention other (earlier) works that also appear in the margins of the Daf, in different masechtot, and point out two tractates whose presentation of the Daf is significantly different from the standard Vilna presentation. Finally, we will mention the major works that appear in the back of full editions of tractates of the Vilna Shas and do not appear on the Daf.
