Bartenura
הוא זורק את הדם. של תמידים, כדי שיהא רגיל בעבודה:
ומטיב את הנרות. מדשנן מן האפר של הפתילות שכבו:
ושאר כל הימים. אם ירצה להקריב כל קרבן שירצה מקריב ואין אנשי המשמר יכולין לעכב על ידו:
מקריב חלק בראש. ראש הוא להקריב כל חלק שיבחר:
ונוטל חלק בראש. בחלוקת הקדשים נוטל מנה יפה שיבחר לו. והני מילי בקדשי מזבח, אבל בקדשי גבול אחד כהן גדול ואחד כהן הדיוט חולקים בשוה:

יומא פרק א׳ משנה ג׳
Bartenura
And they read before him. All seven days.
From the order of the day. From parashat Acharei Mot.
My master. My lord.
שמא לא למדת – During Second Temple times, it was necessary for this, as they would appoint High Priests who were not honest, according to the Kingdom, whereas during First Temple Times, they would not appoint a High Priest, other than someone who is the greatest among the Priests in wisdom, beauty, strength and riches, and if he did not have riches, his brethren among the Priests would raise him up from their own, as it states (Leviticus 21:10): “The priest who is exalted above his fellows….”they would raise him from among his brothers.
שיהא מכיר – he would take consideration of the animals passing before him to place upon his heart the laws of the order of the day [of Yom Kippur].
וקורין לפניו. כל שבעת הימים:
בסדר היום. בפרשת אחרי מות:
אישי. אדוני:
שמא לא למדת. במקדש שני היו צריכין לכך שהיו מעמידין כהנים גדולים שאינם מהוגנים, על פי המלכות, דאילו במקדש ראשון לא היו מעמידין כהן גדול אלא הגדול שבכהנים בחכמה בנוי בכח ובעושר, ואם לא היה לו עושר אחיו הכהנים מגדלין אותו משלהם שנאמר (ויקרא כ״א) והכהן הגדול מאחיו, גדלהו משל אחיו:
שיהא מכיר. מתבונן בבהמות העוברות לפניו לתת אל לבו הלכות סדר היום:

In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.
