History register · custodian, not owner

Babylonian Talmudic master, head of the academy of Pumbedita. His debates with Rava (sugiot of Abaye and Rava) are the model of Talmudic dialectical reasoning. His biography as an orphan who became a great master illustrates the meritocratic ideal of Judaism.

The days of this book

This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Abayé give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
