The Babylonian Talmud (Talmud Bavli) is the great collection of rabbinical discussions elaborated in the academies of Babylonia, particularly at Sura and Pumbedita, during the first centuries of the common era. Composed of the Mishna and its commentary, the Guemara, it gathers legal debates (halakha), narratives, ethical teachings, and narrative elements (aggada). More developed and ultimately more widely studied than the Jerusalem Talmud, it became the central text of the rabbinical tradition and the basis of traditional Jewish learning. Its discussions reflect several generations of masters, the Amoraim, and the subsequent work of editing and compilation. Its authority and diffusion made the Babylonian Talmud the foundation of Jewish practice and thought for the centuries that followed.
