Rabbah bar Ulla, of the fourth Babylonian generation. He is named close to forty times across sixteen tractates, spread evenly rather than gathered anywhere, and stands most often beside Abaye and Rava, whose generation he shares.

The entry is marked for review: beyond the generation and the company he keeps in the corpus, the reference tradition holds little about him that can be stated firmly, and this bio does not go further than that.

Of the fourth generation.
