[ha-Safran] Index on contemporary Talmud scholarship?
Hello Safranim, I feel like there must be an easy answer to this, but I couldn't think of one offhand. Is there an index of contemporary scholarship in the Talmud? The patron I was working with wanted to see what/if any research had been done on a particular section, and I imagine the easiest way to check would be by daf. Does anyone know if there are databases/resources that could help with this? Thanks, Michelle -- Michelle Chesner Norman E.
