Rav Chananel רב חננאל
Bavel amora of Rav's school (second generation) known in the chains as a tradent of Rav: every one of his mined chains transmits Rav. No verified source states the reception expressly, so he carries no reception edge here.

V. How do we know
| Claim | Evidence | Confidence | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| The chain אמר רב חננאל אמר רב appears 17 times across the Bavli in this atlas's mining — every chain of his.
A consistent single-teacher transmission profile makes reception from Rav likely, but no source states it expressly — hence no edge.
|
rabbinic | ★★★★★ | |
| No source dates Rav Chananel directly; the AM span shown is a schematic reconstruction anchored to Rav's circle, whose teachings he transmits.
Schematic generational placement, not an attested date. A dated attestation, if one can be verified, should supersede this.
