Ravina II was a Jewish Talmudist and rabbi who, in 475 CE, together with his teacher Rav Ashi, collected and commented upon the Gemara of what would henceforth be known as the Talmud Bavli ("Babylonian Talmud".) He was also a nephew of Ravina I. He was a leader for 22 years. His father died when he was young, so his mother taught him. He is famous for redacting and finishing the Talmud.
