c. 200 CE
Redaction of the Mishnah
Law & constitutions · Text, law, and tradition
The Mishnah’s redaction as a fixed text is usually placed around 200 CE in Galilee, though it gathers traditions from different periods and its later written transmission has its own history. It is a rabbinic compilation of debate and practice, not a closed state code.
