The Library
1774 works catalogued century by century, from the literature the Bible was written among to the present — each with a note on what it is, why it lasted, and where to read it.
301–400
1 work
c. 400
Hebrew and Aramaic
Talmud Yerushalmi
The academies of Galilee
The Mishnah with the discussion the Galilean academies built around it, closed abruptly and unevenly — whole orders are missing — apparently because the conditions that supported the schools gave out under Christian imperial rule.
401–500
1 work
c. 500; edited into the following centuries
Hebrew and Aramaic
Talmud Bavli
The academies of Sura and Pumbedita
The Mishnah with centuries of Babylonian debate wrapped around it, digressing without warning from a rule about a lost ox into medicine, dream interpretation, biography, or a story about God losing an argument to a majority of rabbis.
