Revision as of 23:29, 11 October 2018 by MordechaiD (talk | contribs) (chiddushim issues)

  1. The Ritva's primary teacher was the Ra'ah, but he studied under the Rashba, as well.[1]
  2. There were many ediitons to the Ritva's Sefarim.[2]
  3. Chiddushei HaRitva on Berachot was identified as his work only recently.[3]
  4. Chiddushei HaRitva on Pesachim was mistakenly attributed to the Nimukei Yosef for some time and is unfortunately only fragments of his commentary that were gathered by somebody else. Hence, it refers to the Ritva as 'רי"ט' in middle of the commentary.[4]
