I thought the 'oral torah' was written by the rabbis or 'sages'.

The Oral Torah is said to have been handed down by God at Sinai with the written Torah. It was finally written down, as the Jews became too widely dispersed for oral tradition to be relied on.

So what's the name of the book that orthodox Jews say has all the rules?
