Part of the Jewish Talmud, as a kind of supplement, containing passages from various Judaic schools of thought. Some scholars believe that the Tosefta is really the original Mishnah, or legal code assembled in Palestine.

Catholic Word of the Day Ping!
Please send me a FReepmail if you would like to be on the Catholic Word of the Day Ping List.
And probably for whoever composed this "definition." The Tosefta is not part of the Talmud. The Talmud is Mishna and Gemara, the latter being an explication of the former.
The Tosefta is a work similar to the Mishna in that it is a compilation of laws that lend detail to the laws in the Torah. Effectively it lost out to the Mishna in "official" status. It is not clear whether it came before, after, or overlapped the Mishna as a written document.
