Biography

He was one of R. Yochanan bar Nafcha's most prominent pupils. As a young man he even managed to study under Judah ha-Nasi,[1] and had delivered statements in his name. However, he acquired most of his Torah knowledge from his principle teacher R. Yochanan bar Nafcha.

Abin's sayings are mentioned many times in the Babylonian Talmud, mainly as an halakhic inquiry (Hebrew :בעי). As he lived in the Land of Israel, he is also cited frequently in the Jerusalem Talmud. His son was Jose ben Abin.

Among the amoraim named "Abin", R. Abin is the only one who is known simply by his name. In contrast, Babylonian amoraim name Abin have another nickname or epithet attached to their name, for example R. Abin Naggara (the father of Idi b. Abin Abin Naggara and Hiyya b. Abin Naggara)[2] and Rabin (whose real name was "R. Abin", as cited in the Jerusalem Talmud).

Among his colleagues was Jeremiah (I), who was one of the elders pupils of Yochanan bar Nafcha, and said to R. Abbahu that for this reason his and Jeremiah (I), Abin I, and R. Measha's opinions should be preferred over the opinions of R. Abbahu, R. Isaac Nappaha, and R. Hanina bar Papi.[3]

gollark: It's on one of my "servers".
gollark: The old version of it was actually written in Rust, but I'm not very good at that so I rewrote it.
gollark: It's actually on github too: https://github.com/osmarks/autobotrobot
gollark: My bot has about 300 lines of code, and it has... a fortune command, `++delete` (a joke one which just says "Deleted [whatever you typed]" and adds it to the deleted items list), a command to list recently "deleted" things, a command to run various esolangs and stuff using TIO.run, and a reminder thing.
gollark: Many of them *are* pretty similar.
