<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The classic work, Otsar rashe tevot,
has been digitized and is online at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.daat.ac.il/daat/vl/tohen.asp?id=9">http://www.daat.ac.il/daat/vl/tohen.asp?id=9</a>. It would give
several options of which meaning is intended, but you'd need to
figure out based on context which of the given options the
appropriate rashe tevot are. Another source is Princeton's site
of Hebrew cataloging tools,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://library.princeton.edu/departments/tsd/katmandu/hebrew/hebrewtoc.html">http://library.princeton.edu/departments/tsd/katmandu/hebrew/hebrewtoc.html</a>,
which include Hebrew Abbreviations. They spell out in romanized
form what the rashe tevot are, but again, do not include "meaning"
or "authorship". That would require more research on your part.
Wikipedia can be a good first stop once you know what the spelled
out form is (presuming you romanize it properly, c.f. Rama vs.
Rema: the correct form is the latter; the former is a Vishnu god
in Hinduism).<br>
<br>
And of course, your colleagues are also an excellent reference <span

Best wishes and happy learning, Jasmin<br>

Shulhan Arukh: the Tur itself, Bet Yosef (written by
Yosef Caro). The Rama is Moshe Isserles, another of the
commentators, who wrote Darkhe Mosheh. Then you have
Ture Zahav (David Segal) and Magen Avraham (Avraham
Gombiner).</span></p>

Does anyone know what all the rashe tevot on the title
page in this attachment stand for, e.g. "Bet-Yud",
etc.? Are these names of books? If so, what books? Are
they all written by Jacob ben Asher?<br>
Thanks</span></p>
