רב גידל Rav Giddel
Amora of Babylonia · 2nd generation (c. 250–290 CE) — named 104 times across 25 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Giddel, of the second Babylonian generation, was a student of Rav, and his importance is as a transmitter: he is quoted in another sage's name some seventy-five times in this corpus, overwhelmingly Rav's. Much of what the later academies knew of Rav's rulings they knew in the form Rav Giddel said in the name of Rav.
He is named some hundred times across twenty-five tractates, heaviest in Yevamot, Kiddushin and Menachot. He went up to Eretz Yisrael in his later years, and his rulings there are cited alongside those of the western sages.
Cited constantly in Rav's name.
