Avot of Rabbi Natan, also known as Avot de-Rabbi Nathan (ARN), the first and longest of the minor tractates of the Talmud, is a Jewish aggadic work probably compiled in the Geonic era. It is a commentary on an early version of the Mishnah and exists in two forms: a standard printed edition and a second edition with 48 chapters published by Solomon Schechter, who labeled the two forms as A and B, respectively.
