Encyclopedia of Religion entry for

Baraitha

A name given to additions to the Jewish Mishnah (q.v.). The term means literally " external," and its use corresponds to some extent to that of the term " apocrypha." The Baraithas are Tannaite traditions (see TANNAIM) which have not been incorporated in the Mishnah. See W. O. E. Oesterley and G. H. Box.
