I would think that Shaul Leiberman's "Tosefta ki-Feshutah" is the definitive commentary on tosefta, (instead of Rabbi Abramsky's work) although I'm not sure how one goes about proving that. Would you look at citations?, sales? conduct a poll of scholars? 20:19, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

No argument there. Most of the citations of Tosefta study I have come across site Shaul (Saul) Lieberman's work as the definative study of the Tosefta. His work is widely used in Orthodox circles as well as non-Orthodox works. (JTS Press has been selling his work to Orthodox rabbis for years. Apparently its one of Orthodoxy's little secrets, like the way that some Orthodox rabbis order copies of CJLS teshuvot from the Rabbinical Assembly. Not that they need to do so anymore, since the RA published most of their teshuvot, and then put many of them online.) RK 03:11, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
