class=560395411-11072010>Another interesting question to me based on this Rosh
is where did he get this distinction from (e.g. is there anything in the Talmud
that hints at differences such as these given that they lived in different
cities - were there any indications of specialization). Did he have a
mesora or was he just wrestling with why the split decision in this case of
authorities?)<BR>KT<BR>Joel Rich</SPAN></FONT></DIV><BR>

was shown that the Rosh (BK 4:4) says the opposite of what I suggested,
namely, that the Chachmei HaGemara paskened like Shmuel b'dinei and like Rav
b'issurei because they recognized that these areas were each their fields of
expertise, in that they spent more time involved with them and hence were more
able to be m'dakdek and yored l'omek hasugya.
