<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>I have Otsar Rashe Tevot in print form and am also familiar with the Princeton Hebrew abbreviations Web site. I am more interested now in a guide to sefarim, with their associated authors, such as came up in abbreviations on the title page of the book that I sent. Is there any source that gives rabbinic authors and their books (an added plus would be if the abbreviations were given, as well). The Otsa Rashe Tevot, as you pointed out, gives several alternatives. It is not always comprehensive nor does it always give names of books.<br> <BR><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2013 10:13:16 -0400<br>From: jnof@upenn.edu<br>To: heb-naco@lists.service.ohio-state.edu<br>Subject: Re: [Heb-NACO] FW: Meaning of these rashe tevot<br><br>
<div class="ecxmoz-cite-prefix">The classic work, Otsar rashe tevot,
has been digitized and is online at
<a class="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.daat.ac.il/daat/vl/tohen.asp?id=9" target="_blank">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="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://library.princeton.edu/departments/tsd/katmandu/hebrew/hebrewtoc.html" target="_blank">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 class="ecxmoz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span>.<br>
<br>
Best wishes and happy learning, Jasmin<br>

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>
