Introduction to Perek ha-Ishah Rabbah
I don’t think that I have noticed this before, but among the articles which Prof. Shamma Friedman has posted on his website is his seminal article, “A Critical Study of Yevamot X with a Methodological Introduction” (Hebrew) which was published in Texts and Studies, Analecta Judaica I, ed. H. Z. Dimitrovsky, New York, 1977, pp. 275-441, a.k.a. Perek ha-Ishah Rabbah. In this early article Prof. Friedman presents an overview of the study and characteristics of the Stam, the anonymous portions of the Talmud.

It was also printed in the Salo Baron Jubilee volume. He must have just put this one up. Thanks for notifying us.

Are you sure that you aren’t talking about another article? I am not familiar with any other place in which this was published.

The wolfman must be thinking of Dimitrovsky’s own article on pilpul.
