Question
1)
(a) If a busy Sofer writes standard documents in advance, what three items does the Tana Kama of our Mishnah require him to omit and to leave blank on all document?
(b) When writing documents of debt, he must also leave a blank space for the amount. What additional space must he leave when writing a document of sale?
(c) With regard to the latter two, it is obvious that he is obligated to leave a blank space for the date, because otherwise, the Shtar will be predated. But why should he not be permitted to fill in the other details, if he anticipates that they will soon come to him for a Shtar?
(d) Rebbi Yehudah is very strict. He invalidates all the documents in the Mishnah, even if the Sofer did leave the blank spaces required by the Tana Kama. What does Rebbi Elazar say?

2)
(a) What else is the Sofer obligated to leave blank, according to Shmuel?
(b) Who is the author of our Mishnah?
(c) This is the third Mishnah that Shmuel has established like Rebbi Elazar: 1. 'Ein Kosvin bi'Mechubar l'Karka. Kasvo bi'Mechubar ... '; 2. 'ha'Kol Kesheirin Lichtov'; 3. 'ha'Kosev Tofsei Gitin'. If he had established ...
1. ... only the first Mishnah like Rebbi Elazar, why might we have thought that the author of the second Mishnah is Rebbi Meir?
2. ... the second Mishnah like Rebbi Elazar, why might we have thought that the author of the third Mishnah is Rebbi Meir?

3)
(a) What does the Tana of our Mishnah mean when he writes 'Mipnei ha'Takanah'? Which concession is he referring to and for whose benefit is it?
(b) Rebbi Yehudah does not hold of Takanas Sofrim at all, forbidding the writing of both the Toreif and the Tofeis of all Shtaros. What is the reasoning of Rebbi Elazar? Why does he forbid the Tofeis of Gitin but not of other Shtaros?
(c) What is wrong with the Derashah 'she'Ne'emar "v'Kasav Lah" 'Lishmah' that Rebbi Elazar cites to forbid writing the Tofeis of a Get?
(d) How do we amend the wording of our Mishnah to answer the Kashya?

26b----------------------------------------26b

4)
(a) How do we reconcile Rebbi Elazar in the Reisha of our Mishnah, who permits a Sofer to write Tofsei Gitin, with Rebbi Elazar in the Seifa who prohibits him from doing so?
click for answer

5)
(a) Rebbi Shabsi Amar Chizkiyah establishes our Mishnah like Rebbi Meir. How does he then explain 'Mishum Takanah'?
(b) Rav Chisda Amar Avimi explains 'Mishum Takanah' to mean because of Takanas Agunos, either according to Rebbi Meir (like Rebbi Shabsi) or according to Rebbi Elazar (like Shmuel). How will we explain it according to ...
1. ... Rebbi Meir?
2. ... Rebbi Elazar?
click for answer

6)
(a) Our Tana lists the date among the blank spaces that the Sofer must leave on the Get. Is there any difference between the Get of a married woman and that of an Arusah (one who is betrothed)?
(b) There is no problem with this according to those who require the date on a Get because of the Takanah of 'ben Achoso' (the fear that he will give the niece to whom he is married an undated Get in the event that she commits adultery). What is the problem according to those who give the reason as being to ascertain from when the woman may claim the Peiros that her husband ate unlawfully?
(c) From when is a man authorized to eat the Peiros of his wife's property?
click for answer

7)
(a) Rav Amram heard from Ula that the reason for inserting the date in the Get of an Arusah is because of Takanah Vlad, but he did not know what he meant. What did he mean?
(b) In which connection did Ula make this statement?
click for answer

8)
(a) Rebbi Zeira quoting ... Rav rules like Rebbi Elazar. Which ruling of Rebbi Elazar is he referring to? How did Rav refer to Rebbi Elazar?
(b) What did Rav Papi in the name of Rava say with regard to a Shtar that was certified by Beis-Din in advance of the witnesses testimony?
(c) What does Rav say about other Shtaros besides Gitin? Does his ruling also incorporate Rebbi Elazar's opinion regarding other Shtaros besides Gitin?
(d) Why does Rav Papi quoting Rava then clash with Rav?
click for answer

9)
(a) What did Rav Nachman quoting Rebbi Meir say about a Get that is found in a trash-heap?
(b) How does that substantiate Rav's ruling like Rebbi Elazar with regard to other Shtaros, and prove Rav Papi quoting Rava wrong?
(c) But how can we bring a proof from Rebbi Meir, when the Rabanan disagree with him?
(d) We substantiate this with a statement by Rebbi Asi Amar Rebbi Yochanan. What does Rebbi Asi Amar Rebbi Yochanan say about using the Shtar again in the case of a loan that was already re-paid? How does this prove our previous statement?
