The epoch of the \u003ci\u003eRishonim\u003c\/i\u003e, the \"Early Commentators\" was over. Just as the  era of the Mishnah had given way to that of the Talmud, and that of the Talmud  had given way to that of the Geonim and Rishonim, so too a new era was  now beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the map of Torah began to shift eastward.

Other countries, too, were proving the eternal validity of the Divine promise that the words of the Torah would never depart from the mouths of Israel.
