Amora of Babylonia · 2nd generation×34 named in the Bavli14 tractates

Rav Chananel, of the second Babylonian generation, was one of Rav's students and a scribe by trade. His place in the Talmud is chiefly that of a transmitter: of the some thirty-four times his name stands in the Bavli, twenty-four introduce a teaching he carries in Rav's name.

He is named across fourteen tractates, heaviest in Menachot and Moed Katan, and Rav Ika bar Avin in turn carries teachings in his.

Of Rav's students; a scribe.
