do you think artscroll can ever make a gemara with rashi & tosafos explanations also in english? do you know how thick each volume would be? each perek gemara would need a volume itself & the design of the page would need to change.
I spoke to artscroll regarding that a few years ago. Rashi is essentially on the notes below. There is a translation project of Tosfos. But the Hebrew was not punctuated. Does it say which Tosfos?
Ri? Rash? Rosh? Rabbeinu Tam? Ritva? etc I’d like to know who I am reading…
I saw this in a shul last week. It is one volume on the first two perakim, about half of Maseches Makkos. Tosfos on half the masechta was a little bit bigger than the entire Maseches Makkos regular version. At that rate, expect 146 volumes for all of shas!!
If you’re learning tosafos on your own, you should know how to read it.
I assume you mean read it in its original, untranslated form. I wish I could do that. Perhaps Artscroll should refocus their efforts and provide a series of self-study books that teach one how to do that.
