Talmud); or alternative name recorded in the B. Talmud: Jose, the son of R. Boon [Bun], in Hebrew: יוסי ברבי בון, read as Yossi BeRabbi[Son of Rabbi] Bon) was a Jewish Talmudist, known as an amora of the fifth generation (4th century CE) who lived in the Galilee in the Land of Israel.
[3] Jose was the most important among the last Halakhists of the amoraim of the Land of Israel.
He had a thorough knowledge not only of the Judean customs and halakhot, but of the Babylonian, a fact that has led some scholars to maintain that Jose must have resided at some time in Babylonia.
It is probable, however, that he derived his knowledge of Babylonian teaching from his father, who had traveled in Babylonia.
His chief halakic opponents were Mana II and Jose ben Zebida.
