The Babylonian Talmud, a central text of Rabbinic Judaism, was developed in Babylonia after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD. It consists of the Mishnah and the Gemara, with the latter being a detailed analysis of the Mishnah. The compilation process began with scholars like Abba Arika and was completed by Rav Ashi and Ravina II around the 6th century CE[1][3]. The Babylonian Talmud is more comprehensive than the Jerusalem Talmud and is written in Babylonian Aramaic[1].
