The Mishnah is considered the first work of Rabbinic Judaism. It was redacted around the year 200 CE by Yehudah Ha-Nasi ["Judah the Prince"). Rabbinic commentaries on the Mishnah over the next three centuries were recorded mostly in Aramaic and were redacted as the Gemara. The Mishnah and the Gemara together form the Talmud.
