Rabbi Yitzchak (Nappacha) רבי יצחק
Eretz Yisrael amora of Rabbi Yochanan's circle (third generation), master of both halacha and aggada, conventionally identified with Rabbi Yitzchak Nappacha. The Bavli's plain רבי יצחק in amoraic chains is attributed to him here by that convention, flagged as a convention rather than a certainty.

V. How do we know
| Claim | Evidence | Confidence | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| The chain אמר רבי יצחק אמר רבי יוחנן appears 26 times across the Bavli in this atlas's mining. | rabbinic | ★★★★★ | |
| The name רבי יצחק without a patronymic is a stam name; this atlas follows the classical convention identifying the amoraic chain- tradent with Rabbi Yitzchak Nappacha, while the Bavli itself knows several Rabbi Yitzchaks.
An identification convention, not an attestation; items are attributed per the printed letter of the text.
|
reconstruction | ★★☆☆☆ | |
| No source dates Rabbi Yitzchak directly; the AM span shown is a schematic reconstruction anchored to Rabbi Yochanan's generation, whose teachings he transmits.
Schematic generational placement, not an attested date. A dated attestation, if one can be verified, should supersede this.
