Yom Tov ben Abraham of Seville (c. 1260 – 1320; also Asevilli, Assevilli, Ashbili) commonly known by the Hebrew acronym Ritva, (Hebrew: ריטב"א) was a medieval rabbi and rosh yeshiva of the Yeshiva of Seville, known for his commentaries on the Talmud.
His works suggest that he spent some time studying in France.
[citation needed] His commentary on the Talmud was collected and published as a novellae entitled Chiddushei Ha-Ritva.
[3] Assevilli wrote two versions of his commentary, first an extended one and then a concise one.
