“This enigmatic pocket edition of Tractate Sukah fits comfortably into the palm of a hand. It is the smallest recorded printed talmudic tractate. It does not include any commentaries, an indication that this edition was printed under the influence of the Maharal of Prague” - who emphasized the fundamental importance of regularly reviewing one’s studies and mastering the text, before proceeding to more advanced focus on commentaries.
