This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Hyman Klein (1908–1958), English scholar of the Babylonian Talmud and translator of rabbinic literature. Klein's major contributions to the study of the Talmud were a series of articles that distinguished between the terse, attributed statements ("Gemara") of the Talmud and the anonymous ("Sebara") stratum, the latter of which he considered to be Savoraic.
Biography
[edit]Klein was born in London and attended the Etz Chaim Yeshivah and University of Cambridge.[1][2] He also served as head of the Liverpool Talmudical College. He died in Jerusalem.[1][2]
Works
[edit]Klein's articles made major contributions to the methodology of separating the attributed, terse traditions ("Gemara") and the unattributed traditions ("Sebara"). Klein believed that Rav Ashi was responsible for the editing of Gemara, but that Sabara stemmed from the Savoraim.[3][4][5] Along with the work of Julius Kaplan and Avraham Weiss, Klein's methodology influenced later scholars, such as Shamma Friedman and David Weiss Halivni.[4][6]
