According to Jewish tradition, the Sanhedrin was founded by Moses, at the command of God. The date is not exactly known, as the dates of Moses' life are not known either, but best guesses put it about 1000-1500 years before the birth of Christ. The institution saw a huge reduction in power in 70 C.E, and was completely disbanded by 425 C.E.
