[Heb-NACO] FW: Meaning of these rashe tevot

[Judith Zupnick]

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.

    The classic work, Otsar rashe tevot,
      has been digitized and is online at
      http://www.daat.ac.il/daat/vl/tohen.asp?id=9.  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,
      http://library.princeton.edu/departments/tsd/katmandu/hebrew/hebrewtoc.html,
      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).

      

      And of course, your colleagues are also an excellent reference  :-) .

      

      Best wishes and happy learning, Jasmin

      Thanks! Is there any guide, list or resource
        to rabbinic literature that would tell the meaning of the rashe
        tevot and the authorship, for future reference?

            Hi,
             
            These are all commentaries printed to the Tur or
                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).

                  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?

                  Thanks
