The Talmud is a vast compendium of rabbinic commentary on the 613 commandments set forth in the Five Books of Moses (the Pentateuch). It is known as the Oral Law because every generation took great care to attribute its contents to the original authors, avoiding putting it into writing lest it assume a status comparable to the Bible Bible itself, the Written Law. However, during periods of bitter persecution, the rabbinic leadership took the lead in committing the Oral Law to writing, lest it be lost during the battle for survival. Thus, the oldest portion, the Mishna, written in Hebrew, was compiled late in the second century by Yehudah Ha-Nasi Ha-Nasi, Yehudah[Ha Nasi, Yehudah] , during the Roman persecutions which followed the suppression of the last great Jewish revolt in 132-135 c.e.
