So what if it's unpaginated?
Count.
I can't keep track of all the Bodeks, there seems to be a few running around. I think Yaakov Bodek wrote notes to Chajes's book Igeret Bikoret, then there is a different Bodek who was Shir's son-in-law.
Incidentally, Bodek seems to have made up with Shir in the end - see http://books.google.com/books?id...AAAYAAJ&

nope -- not getting the difference in semantics you claim. could you explain again?
--mivami
Unlike Mivami, I do see the difference you are concerned with. However, I read the original passage as conveying the more "accurate" meaning: Jost was as if open before him as needed, just as the talmud... was as if open before him as needed. Of course, there's still the issue of leaving out the maskilish stuff on the list, but that's not an issue of semantics.
Can you comment on the style here in the roshei tevot of ramban - of putting the " between the mem and the bet, rather than the bet and nun sofit?
The truth is that I don't get it here, because Rambam, Rif, Ramad are all given the " the way they are used today. So it might be a typographical mistake, unless it is somehow meant to provide a contrast with Rambam. But it definitely was a style at the time, placing it before the ב, as I have seen many examples where it is obviously deliberate.

I see a difference between "He knew Jost inside out, like he knew the Talmuds" and "He knew Jost inside out. He also knew the Talmuds inside out..."
