Detailed explanation-1: -Mishne Torah, extensive commentary on the Talmud, composed in the 12th century by the renowned Jewish philosopher and scholar Moses Maimonides. Each of its 14 volumes deals with a group of laws covering one subject. Among the subjects are ethical conduct, civil laws, torts, marriage and divorce, and gifts to the poor.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Gemara is a collection of commentaries on and elaborations of the Mishna, which in “the Talmud” is reproduced in juxtaposition to the Gemara.
