Tzedah LaDerech [“Provision for the Journey” super-commentary to Rashi on the Chumash].

The author (c.1570-1623), was mentored by R. Judah Löw (Maharal) in the latter’s yeshivah in Prague, and later studied under R. Mordecai Jaffe, author of the Levush, and R. Joshua Falk Katz. He served as rabbi of Austerlitz, Moravia before he was called to serve the rabbinate in Safed (see f. 2b), which was prevented due to his premature death. See JE, Vol. V, pp. 77-8. The author was evidently proud of this work of his; he states he titled it Provision for the Way - “in the hope that it would protect [him] on [his] way to the One Above after [his] sojourn in this world.”
