Rav Assi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rav Assi (Hebrew: רב אסי), or Assi (I), was a rabbi of Babylonia, of the first generation of the amoraim.

Rav Assi should not be confused with the Amora sage of the land of Israel, Rabbi Assi, who was of the third generation of the Amora era, and is recorded many times both in the Babylon and the Jerusalem Talmud.

In the Jerusalem Talmud Rav Assi is recorded merely as Issi or Assa, without the title "Rav" or "Rabbi", much like other amoraim of the first generation.
