רבן שמעון בן גמליאל הראשון Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel I
Tanna · 1st generation (c. 10–80 CE) — not named in a form this corpus separates from a namesake.
Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel the First, of the first tannaitic generation, was nasi in the last years of the Temple, at the destruction, and the father of Rabban Gamliel of Yavneh, who led the sages in the generation that followed.
He is carried in this index at no mentions at all, and the reason is a matter of spelling rather than of standing. The Bavli's unqualified form of the name is read, by the settled convention of the reference works, as the second Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel, and this index follows that convention and says so; nothing on the page separates the first from the second, so nothing is credited to him here.
Nasi at the destruction. He has no form of his own in the Bavli: unqualified רשב"ג is indexed to Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel II per standard convention (ambiguous.json records the conflation).

The gematria of the name
Computed from the consonantal letters of רבן שמעון בן גמליאל הראשון by the same engine that runs every search. This is the value of a NAME — no word of the Talmud is valued anywhere in this app.
This corpus never writes this name on its own. Either the Bavli does not name him at all, or every form it uses is one a sage of the same name also answers to — and this index credits nobody rather than guessing. He is in the roster, at zero, because leaving him out would be its own kind of lie.
