[Ads-l] Blatt

[Benjamin Barrett]

In Chaim Potok's 1967 "The Chosen," the protagonist and antagonist are 
assigned the Talmud in units of blatt (http://bit.ly/16Biez3).

The word comes up a number of times in Google Books, often as "blatt 
gemorah," but Wiktionary and the Oxford Dictionary site have it only as 
a German word.
