José b. Saul, Palestinian amora of the first generation, in the third century, was the disciple of the patriarch Juda I, whose teachings and traditions he transmitted; these were in turn reported by R. Joshua b. Levi and Hiyya ben Gamda. The Jerusalem Talmud preserved of him only a single anecdote, in Aramaic. He had brothers Johanan and Halafta, with the first of whom he was accustomed to conduct halakhic controversies.

Amora palestinien de la première génération (IIIe s.). Il est connu surtout comme transmetteur des paroles et des traditions du patriarche Judah I., dont il était disciple. Celles-ci aussi bien que ses propres paroles sont transmises en outre par R. Joshua b. Levi et par Ḥiyya ben Gamda. En un endroit l'ordre suivant est donné : Simon b. Pazzi dit au nom de R. Joshua b. Levi au nom de R. Jose b. Saul au nom de R. Judah ha-Nasi au nom de l'assemblée sainte de Jérusalem (Beẓah 14b, 27a; Tamid 27b). Le Talmud palestinien n'a conservé qu'une seule anecdote de lui en araméen ('Ab. Zarah ii. 3). Ses frères étaient Johanan et Ḥalafta, avec le premier desquels il avait l'habitude de tenir des controverses halakiques (Shab. 125b).
