This book thoroughly examines Genizah fragments of Tractate Eruvin in the Babylonian Talmud from Cambridge University Library's Taylor Schechter collection. While previous research has focused on cataloging and categorizing the fragments and providing short, generalized descriptions, this study systematically explores whether the versions in the Genizah fragments contain significant differences compared to the print and manuscript versions of Tractate Eruvin. It also aims to note these differences and to investigate to what degree they affect or change our understanding of sugyot from Tractate Eruvin in light of the comparison between the Genizah version and the print version.
