Unto this Mishnae of R. Judah they annex the [Greek or Hebrew] the Tosiphot, or additions of § 10 Rabbi Chaiah his Scholar, expounding many passages in his Masters works; to them a more full explanation of the same doctrine of the Mishnae, which they call Baracetot is subjoined, being the Collection of some Antitalmudicall Masters. About three hundred years after the Destruction of the Temple R. Johanan composed the Jerusalem ⟨p. 62⟩Talmud, consisting in Expositions, Comments, and Disputes upon the whole Mishnae, excepting the last part about Purifications. An hundred years or thereabouts after that, Rabbi Ase, composed the Babylonian Talmud, or Gemara; thirty two years they say he spent in this work, yet leaving it unfinished; seventy one years after, it was completed by his Disciples. And the whole work of both these Talmuds may be referred unto five heads: For first, they expound the Text of the Mishnae; 2. Decide Questions of right and fact; 3. Report the Disputations, Traditions and Constitutions of the Doctors that lived between them and the Writing of the Mishnae; 4. Give Allegorical monstrous Expositions of the Scripture, which they call Midrashoth; and 5. Report Stories of the like nature.
