About Geonim
The Geonim were leading rabbis and legal authorities who lived approximately in the 6th through early 11th centuries, in the period following the completion of the Talmud. Many were the heads of two central academies of Jewish learning in Babylon (present-day Iraq), and received questions from Jews in neighboring areas as well as from more distant regions on talmudic interpretation and legal disputes. Their responses were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Arabic and could range in length from a sentence to a large book.
