Rabbinic Literature - Mishnaic Literature

Mishnaic Literature

The Mishnah and the Tosefta (compiled from materials pre-dating the year 200) are the earliest extant works of rabbinic literature, expounding and developing Judaism's Oral Law, as well as ethical teachings. Following these came the two Talmuds:

• The Jerusalem Talmud, c. 450
• The Babylonian Talmud, c. 600
• The minor tractates (part of the Babylonian Talmud)
