Page "Talmud" Paragraph 20

This Talmud is a synopsis of the analysis of the Mishnah that was developed over the course of nearly 200 years by the Academies in Israel ( principally those of Tiberias and Caesarea.

) Because of their location, the sages of these Academies devoted considerable attention to analysis of the agricultural laws of the Land of Israel.

Traditionally, this Talmud was thought to have been redacted in about the year 350 CE by Rav Muna and Rav Yossi in the Land of Israel.

It is traditionally known as the Talmud Yerushalmi (" Jerusalem Talmud "), but the name is a misnomer, as it was not prepared in Jerusalem.

It has more accurately been called " The Talmud of the Land of Israel ".
