רב יוסף בר אבא Rav Yosef bar Abba
Amora of Babylonia · 5th generation (c. 350–375 CE) — named 7 times across 6 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Yosef bar Abba, of the fifth Babylonian generation, is named seven times across six tractates, and in three of those places he reports a teaching in an earlier sage's name — Rabbi Yochanan's, Mar Ukva's and Rabbi Menachem's — rather than ruling in his own.
He is cited beside Abaye and Rabbah bar Yirmiya. The roster marks the entry for review; era, generation and these citations are what can be said of him with confidence.
