More Details for Joshua ben Perachyah:
Description:
Joshua ben Perachya was Nasi of the Sanhedrin in the latter half of the second century BCE. He and his colleague Nittai of Arbela were the second of the five pairs (Zugot) of scholars who received and transmitted the tradition (Avot i.6; Haggigah 16a). At the time of the persecution of the Pharisees by John Hyrcanus, Joshua was deposed—a disgrace to which his words in Men. 109b apparently allude. Wikipedia
