R. Gershon Chanoch Leiner (1839-91) the innovative Chassidic Rebbe of Radzyn (known as the Ba’al HaTecheleth) composed an anthology of all rabbinic material extant on the Mishnayoth of Seder Taharoth. Although the author completed his work on the entire Order, only Tractates Ohaloth and Keilim were published - his writings on the other Tractates were lost during the Holocaust.
