Ravina bar Huna (jan 1, 520 – jan 1, 590)

Description:

Ravina bar Huna is often placed among the later Savoraim. He should not be confused with the earlier Ravina associated with Rav Ashi and the end of the Amoraic period. This later Ravina belongs to the post-Talmudic editing generation.

For your timeline, Ravina bar Huna is useful as a figure near the end of the Savoraic period. He represents the bridge between the final editing of the Talmud and the rise of the Geonim, who would later lead the major Babylonian academies and answer legal questions from Jewish communities across the world.
