Rabbinical eras |
---|
Gamaliel III (Hebrew: רבן גמליאל ברבי, read as Rabban Gamaliel beRabbi, that is: son of Rebbi, after his father Judah haNasi) was a 3rd-century rabbi (first generation of amoraim).
His father appointed him his successor as nasi.[1] Little certain is known about his activities, but it is likely that the revision of the Mishnah was completed during his era.
He was the father of Judah II and Hillel (not to be mistaken with Hillel the Elder), and the brother of Shimon ben Judah HaNasi.
