רבי אלעזר Rabbi Elazar ben Pedat
Amora of the Land of Israel · 2nd generation (c. 250–290 CE) — named 1,325 times across 38 tractates of the Bavli.
Rabbi Elazar ben Pedat came up from Babylonia, where he had learned from Rav, and became Rabbi Yochanan's foremost student in Tiberias, succeeding him at the head of the academy; he belongs to the second amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael. Eretz Yisrael called him the master of the land of Israel. He was poor to the point of hunger, and the Talmud does not hide it.
He is the great transmitter of Rabbi Yochanan's teaching to Babylonia and is cited by others some seventy-five times. Unqualified רבי אלעזר in the Bavli is read as him by long convention, though in tannaitic material the same form can be Rabbi Elazar ben Shamua; this index follows the convention and says so. He is named some thirteen hundred times, across every tractate.
'the master of the land of Israel'. Unqualified רבי אלעזר is indexed here — in tannaitic material it can be Rabbi Elazar ben Shamua (ambiguous.json).
