Rabbi Yaakov bar Idi, of the third amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael, is quoted in others' names some seventeen times, chiefly carrying the teachings of Rabbi Yochanan and Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi.

He is named some forty-five times across eighteen tractates, spread thinly. The Talmud preserves his concern for the honour of the sages and his care in reporting a teaching exactly as he had received it, which is the quality that makes a transmitter worth citing.

Of Eretz Yisrael.
