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

[Jasmin Nof]

That's an excellent question, Judith.  I can't think of any such reference guides off the top of my head, but I'm certain they exist.  Perhaps send your query to the folks at Hasafran; I imagine you'll get several good recommendations. 

Best wishes, Jasmin

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.

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).
