The product of the Palestinian schools during the Amoraic period, which extended from the third to the fifth century C.E. The Talmud marks the writings of Jewish law and tradition, of which it is the most important production.

The Talmud Yerushalmi, also known as the Palestinian Talmud, Yerushalmi, Talmud of the Land of Israel, Talmud of the West, Talmud of the Western Lands, and in modern times as the Jerusalem Talmud has not been preserved in its entirety. Large portions of it were entirely lost at an early date,while other parts exist only in fragments. The editio princeps (ed. Bomberg, Venice, 1523 et seq.), on which all later editions are based, terminates with the following remark: "Thus far we have found what is contained in this Talmud; and we have endeavored in vain to obtain the missing portions." Of the six orders of the Mishnah, the fifth, Kodashim, is missing entirely from the Talmud Yerushalmi, while of the sixth, Tohorot, it contains only the first three chapters of the treatise Niddah.
