* Torah SheB'al Peh
First all TSBP was linked to Mikra - much like Torah T'mimah looks today.
Then over time it grew via
1. New D'rashot using Middot
2 New piskei din, precedents. Binding interpretations EG Moavi v'lo Moaviyah
After the Hurban R Akiva began a process of sorting and cataloging by topic. This continued under R Meir and was completed under Rebbe
Rebbe added little to nothing except indexing, formatting, and the latest opinions. Now, TSBP was ordered by subject and had a [new] particular Template of Halachah P'sukkah.
In a sense he did what Rambam and Tur did later on to the Talmud.
Next part - the reaction.
Shalom and Regards,
RRW
