kabbalistic work elucidating the sayings of Rabbah bar Bar Hana in tractate Bava Batra, perek ha-Sefinah by R. Moses ben Benjamin of Baghdad. The text is comprised of numerous discourses, each beginning with the Talmudic text in square letters followed by R. Moses’ discourse in rabbinic letters. The title-page states that the explanations are in the manner of Pardes. A listing of the ma’amrim is followed by the author’s introduction in which he informs that he had sent two of his works, are Tefillah le-Moshe and Sha'arei Yerushalayim to be printed but that they were taken by bandits and therefore he thought, due to his great anguish, to explain the words of Rabbah bar Bar Hana.R. Moses ben Benjamin of Baghdad (Moses Benjamin, first half of the 18th century) was a rabbi and kabbalist in Baghdad. He was the first of the Baghdad scholars known to have studied much Kabbalah and was an expert in Lurianic Kabbalah. Very little is known about his life; his wife and children died in an epidemic before 1737, and he never fulfilled his desire to immigrate to Jerusalem. He apparently served as rabbi, because he mentions among his writings "some legal rulings." His book Ma'aseh Rav (Constantinople, 1736) is a kabbalistic commentary on the sayings of Rabbah b. Bar Hana . In the introduction he mentions the following of his own works: Matteh Moshe, a commentary on the masorah as well as an explanation of rabbinic verses and sayings; Ho'il Moshe, a homiletical interpretation of the Pentateuch; and a collection of sermons which he preached on Sabbaths and various occasions. His kabbalistic works are Tefillah le-Moshe and Sha'arei Yerushalayim, completed in 1731 (author's manuscript; Sassoon Library, 771). The latter contains kabbalistic principles according to the Zohar and R. Isaac Luria . These two books were stolen while en route to the publishers and the author was left with only the first draft.
Rabbah b. Bar Hana (TJ, Abba bar Hana, e.g., in BM 5:5; early third century) was a Babylonian amora. In Babylon Rabbah studied under his uncle, Hiyya (MK 16b), whom he subsequently accompanied to Erez Israel (MK 21a). Before they left to return to Babylon, Hiyya asked the nasi to give Rabbah permission to decide matters of ritual law, monetary cases, and defects in a firstborn animal which could render its slaughter permissible. Although such permission was rarely granted, the nasi acceded to the request (Sanh. 5a). Rabbah's closest colleague was Ray (TJ, BM 5:7, 10c), in whose company he is found both in Erez Israel and in Babylon (MK 21a; Hul. 44b), with whom he held halakhic discussions (Hul. 8b), and in whose name he transmitted teachings (Shab. 50a; Nid. 47a). It is related that when Rabbah was once in mourning and thought that he ought not to give his regular lecture, Rav said, "We have learned, 'if the public have need of him, he does not refrain'" (MK 21a). Little is known of Rabbah's personal life, other than that he traded in wine (BM 83a, see Dik. Sof. ibid.) and that his wife died before him (BB 52a). His only known pupil was Hananel (MK 19a). Rabbah b. Hana is frequently confused with Rabbah b. Bar Hana who, some believe, was his son. They can be distinguished only by context and chronology.
