about the talmud, when it was written?
Did they have a way of shipping books around the world at that time?

The Talmud is the written down version of what was already taught from teacher to students, long before it was written down.
It wasn't a new thing when it was finally written down.

Judah the Prince saw the need to write down the oral tradition during those sad and turbulent times, so that it wouldn't be lost as Jews scattered...
The Mishnah is the core of the oral law, with further commentary and discussion (gemara)... it's really a non-ending conversation / debate that trains students in critical reasoning.
Note that each of the Palestinian Talmud and the Babylonian Talmud bring over some materials not found in the other.

Every time that Jerusalem was being invaded, Jews hid scrolls in caves in the desert to preserve their religion, and their knowledge. I would assume that the scrolls were then copied and distributed as people moved about the globe.
The Mishnah part of the Talmud was written in 200 CE, and the Gemara was written in 500 CE.

The Talmud is divided into two parts. The first part, the Mishnah was written around 200 AD. the second part, the Gemara, was written approximately 300 years later.
They are a written copy of Jewish oral teachings. They were written for the sole fact that Jewish leaders didn't want oral teachings to be lost after the Diaspora.
