Babylonian Rabbi
- You might be looking for Nachman bar Huna or Nachman bar Yaakov.
Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak (Hebrew: רב נחמן בר יצחק; died 356 CE) was a Babylonian rabbi, of the fourth and fifth generations of amoraim.
It is generally accepted that references to "Rav Nachman" in the Talmud refer to Rav Nachman bar Yaakov, not to Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak.[1]
- ^ Tosafot to Gittin 31b takes this position while understanding Rashi as disagreeing. Modern scholarship follows Tosafot, noting that "Rav Nachman" and "Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak" are often stated as disagreeing within a single passage.
