ABSTRACT
RABBAH, bar-Nachamani c. 270-c. 321. Babylonian amora. Rabbah was one of the most famous Babylonian amoraim and for twenty-two years was head of the academy of Pumbedita. He was a descendant of Eli, the high priest (I Sam.) on whom a curse rested, and Rabbah’s early death was attributed to this cause.
