There is no single author of the Talmud. There are two Talmuds; each is a series of volumes, and they contain numerous long and detailed debates and discussions on Jewish religious law. There is also folklore and proverbs and a fair bit of humour within the Talmud. They were compiled over several centuries, and they essentially illuminate the Torah, the five books of Moses. The Talmud is also referred to as the 'oral Torah'.

The authors of the Jewish Talmud are primarily Jewish rabbis and scholars who compiled and interpreted the oral teachings and traditions of ancient Judaism. The Talmud is a central text of rabbinic Judaism and is composed of the Mishnah and the Gemara.

It contains quotes from hundreds of earlier sages.
