Rabbinic / Avot D'Rabbi Natan

Summary
Date: 190-230 C.E.

Avot d’Rabbi Natan (“Fathers of Rabbi Nathan”) is a companion volume to Pirkei Avot, presenting maxims of wisdom alongside explanations and stories. Like Pirkei Avot, its organization is chronological, beginning with statements of early rabbis and continuing through successive generations of rabbis. The date of its composition and its precise relationship to Pikei Avot are matters of debate.
