Definition of Talmod
Talmud, a huge limbo, in chaotic arrangement, consisting of the
Mishna, or text, and Gemara, or commentary, of Rabbinical speculations,
subtleties, fancies, and traditions connected with the Hebrew Bible, and
claiming to possess co-ordinate rank with it as expository of its meaning
and application, the whole collection dating from a period subsequent to
the Captivity and the close of the canon of Scripture. There are two
Talmuds, one named the Talmud of Jerusalem, and the other the Talmud of
Babylon, the former, the earlier of the two, belonging in its present
form to the close of the 4th century, and the latter to at least a
century later. See Haggadah and Halacha.

Tal"mud (?), n. [Chald. talmūd
instruction, doctrine, fr. lamad to learn, limmad to teach.]
The body of the Jewish civil and canonical law not comprised in the
Pentateuch.
&fist; The Talmud consists of two parts, the Mishna, or
text, and the Gemara, or commentary. Sometimes, however, the name
Talmud is restricted, especially by Jewish writers, to the Gemara.
There are two Talmuds, the Palestinian, commonly, but incorrectly,
called the Talmud of Jerusalem, and the Babylonian Talmud.
They contain the same Mishna, but different Gemaras. The Babylonian Talmud
is about three times as large as the other, and is more highly esteemed by
the Jews.
