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 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
