In 1997 IDC of Leiden, Netherlands, issued 320 microfiches with accompanying materials entitled, "The Talmud Editions of D. Bomberg," by A. Rosenthal." It appears from the LC record, as well as from the description on the IDC website that what this is is a set of "fiche" depicting what they bill as "all tractates of the four editions by Bomberg, Venice, 1520-1549." I assume their major source for making these determinations is, "Maamar al hadpasat ha-Talmud," by Raphael N.N. Rabinovicz, in the Habermann update of 1952. For anyone having access to the IDC set, I would be most grateful if you would check their accompanying printed materials and let me know what (if any) other sources they may list as the basis for their divisions and for any notes they may make.
