Gittin 72: If He Dies before He Wakes, There’s a Get for Her to Take (not really)

More on the different readings by R. Meir and R. Yosi. When are verbal instructions to a scribe acceptable? The verse seems to imply that the husband’s voice is necessary… Plus, a new mishnah: How a husband can formulate a conditional get in the event of his death. How to make it valid?? More, in trying to understand R. Yosi both supports his view and raises questions on it. Plus, a side bar and prooftext regarding the olive oil of non-Jews.
