The author (1835-1918), was the son of R. Seligmann Baer (Isaac Dov HaLevi) Bamberger “the Würzburger Rav.” At the time of publication, R. Solomon Bamberger served as a teacher in the Beth Hamidrash of Sulzberg. Later he was appointed Rabbi of Lengnau (Switzerland) and then served various communities in the Alsace. It is interesting to note that despite his father’s opposition to the secessionist policies of R. Samson Raphael Hirsch, the author received a warm Haskama (approbation) in this work from Rabbi Hirsch (see f. 2a).
