רבי שמעון בר אבא Rabbi Shimon bar Abba
Amora of the Land of Israel · 3rd generation (c. 290–320 CE) — named 10 times across 8 tractates of the Bavli.
Rabbi Shimon bar Abba, of the third amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael, was one of Rabbi Yochanan's students.
He is named some ten times across eight tractates, two of those inside another's patronymic, spread so thinly that no tractate carries more than two. He carries teachings in Rabbi Chanina bar Chama's name, and Reish Lakish carries one in his — the profile of a link in the chain of the land's transmission rather than of a disputant.
Of Rabbi Yochanan's students.
