Rav Nachman

Rav Nachman

Rav Nachman bar Yaakov (Hebrew: רב נחמן בר יעקב; died 320 CE) was a prominent JewishTalmudic sage (Amora) of the third generation, who lived in Babylonia. He is generally identified with the figure referred to simply as Rav Nachman in the Babylonian Talmud. He was married to Yalta, who is mentioned several times in Talmudic literature.

It is generally accepted that references to Rav Nachman in the Talmud refer to Rav Nachman bar Yaakov, not to Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak.
