Huna bar Yehoshua

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rab Huna bar Jehoshua was a learned and wealthy Babylonian Amora of the fifth generation and lived and worked towards the end of the fourth century AD.

Like his papa friend , he was a student of Rawa and Abaje .

After Rawa's death, Rab Papa became the head of the academy in Naresch and appointed Huna "chairman of the assembly of scholars".

Huna, who supposedly never went four cubits without a head covering, was also well versed in medicine.
