Mishnah

The first redaction of the oral Torah, six orders, from seeds to purity, compiled in the Galilee around 200 CE.

Authorship
Redacted under Rabbi Judah ha-Nasi and his circle.

Compiled around 200 CE in the Galilee under Rabbi Judah ha-Nasi, the Mishnah is the first written redaction of the oral Torah: sixty-plus tractates in six orders, from agriculture ("Seeds") to ritual purity, in terse Mishnaic Hebrew. It became the foundation document on which both Talmuds, Jerusalem and Babylonian, are built.
