    When, and who, established the daf system we use today in the Gemorah?

    And why is it considered a big aveira to print a Gemorah using a different layout?

    A non-Jewish printer in Venice named Daniel Bomberg printed the first shas with the pagination we use today. We don’t use a different layout because so much Torah is written citing gemoros by page in that edition that if there was more than one layout it would be very hard to look anything up.

    Why would a different pagination today be any worse than how we read from a Gemorah prior to Bomberg’s innovation?

    Prior to Bomberg there was no such thing as a mass producible full Shas.

    Why doesn’t the Yerushalmi translated by Rav Yechiel Avraham haLevi Bar Lev from Yedid Nefesh become the official pagination of Yesushalmi?

    Until this happens we have the same issues to conetend/grapple with, with regards to Yerushalmi.

    Mr. Daniel Bomberg himself assigned the specific Daf numbers, starting from “Beis”, on each Daf that we have today?

    And why did Mr. Bomberg start from Beis instead of Alef?

    Mr. Bomberg understood Hebrew?

    The Shaar Blatt is page 1. Most books don’t start with page 1.
