<div dir="ltr">To me too it seems right to capitalize Tana'im and similar groups, but I have to confess I can't see an instruction in RDA that seems to require it.  So I guess we would say "pre-Raphaelites" and "communists" too.  What about "lake poets"?  Seems weird to me, but okay.  Anyway, capitalization is the least of our worries ...<br>
