Amora of Babylonia · 4th generationWants a person’s eye

Rav Chisda bar Abba, of the fourth Babylonian generation, stands at no mentions: this edition of the Bavli never writes the name in its fuller form, and what it does write — the plain Rav Chisda — belongs to the great sage of Sura, who has his own entry.

Era and generation are what can be said of him, and the roster marks the entry for review.

Rarely cited.

The gematria of the name

Computed from the consonantal letters of רב חסדא בר אבא 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.
