In a strict sense, the Talmud - or the Talmidim both that of Jerusalem and that of Babylon -, is a compilation of legal norms, arguments and legends compiled by rabbis of the ancient regions of Jerusalem and Babylon, between the 1st to 7th centuries CE; It is also a source of practical law and a systematization of codes that update biblical law; On the other hand, the Talmudic text is written not only for the elaboration of scholarly works, but also for the consultation of any Jew in search of a norm of behavior at a certain moment or for the resolution of a conflict, already with the authority rabbinical by the application of a norm, or in their family and civil relationships with other members of the community.
