V. How do we know
| Claim | Evidence | Confidence | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| The chain אמר רבי שמואל בר נחמני אמר רבי יוחנן appears 16 times across the Bavli in this atlas's mining. | rabbinic | ★★★★★ | |
| His signature channel is Rabbi Yonatan: אמר רבי שמואל בר נחמני אמר רבי יונתן recurs throughout the Bavli (here on the scholars who study Torah wherever they are).
Rabbi Yonatan (ben Elazar) is not yet a registry entity; when he is added, this claim is the reception evidence to revisit.
|
rabbinic | ★★★★★ | |
| No source dates Rabbi Shmuel bar Nachmani directly; the AM span shown is a schematic reconstruction anchored to the generation between Rabbi Yonatan and Rabbi Yochanan's students.
Schematic generational placement, not an attested date. A dated attestation, if one can be verified, should supersede this.
