The editor, Joseph Ottolenghi (d. 1570), was the Rabbi of Cremona and provided much of the scholarship found in Riva di Trento Hebrew publications. The printer, Jacob Marcaria, thanks Ottolenghi profusely and gives him the honorific title of “HaGaon” in both the title and introduction. For more regarding Ottolenghi, see Benayahu, HaDefus Ha’Ivri BeCremona, pp. 111-14.
