רב שמואל בר אבא Rav Shmuel bar Abba
Amora of Babylonia · 4th generation (c. 320–350 CE) — named 10 times across 6 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Shmuel bar Abba, of the fourth Babylonian generation. He is named some ten times across six tractates, five of them in Bava Kamma and the rest single occurrences.
The entry is marked for review; he is rarely cited, and beyond the generation, the centre and the company the name keeps in the corpus, the reference tradition holds little that can be stated firmly.
Rarely cited.
